Fast access to the center of Paris on the new Madeleine-Bibliotheque Francois Mitterrand metro Line #14.

The Bastille
Built around 1370, was once part of the defenses of Paris. Louis XIV had the wall demolished but left the Bastille, which later became a luxury prison for aristocratic and notable people who could have goods and services sent in. The Marquis de Sade was a prisoner here as were Mirabeau and Voltaire. It was stormed on 14 July 1789, but at that time there were only seven prisoners. It was later razed and replaced in 1831 by the column, called the July Column, now standing surmounted by the "Spirit of Liberty". In Place Henri Galli can be found a commemorative pile of stones from the original Bastille.

Place de Bastille
The Place de Bastille was where the Bastille stood, a prison whose name has reverberated around the world as a symbol of democracy, and has always been a rallying point for political protestors. The area around the Bastille, especially rue de Lappe, rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine and part of rue de Charonne has become a rather hip neighborhood.

Jardin des Plantes
Jardin des Plantes (Botanical Gardens), which also encompasses the Museum of Natural History and a Zoo.
