The Bastille district is named after the fortress that stood on the square of the same name. First a strategic military defence then a State Prison, La Bastille was demolished in 1789 becoming the symbol of the french revolution.
Place of celebration since that date, the Bastille district only took shape after the opening of the Opera in 1989 with the arrival of many bars, restaurants and different shops.
A crossroad between gatherings and history, this square still remains nowadays a symbol of Liberty.
