Viaduc des Arts
Just south of the Bastille Opera was a former railway viaduct that has now been converted into craftsmen’s stores and design boutiques. Above the Viaduct is the Promenade Plante, which is an elevated Park stretching from the Bastille to the Bois de Vincennes.

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.
