Place de la Bastille is a historic square in Paris, France. It is located in the 4th, 11th, and 12th arrondissements of the city. The square is known for its historical significance and symbolic value in French history.

The name "Bastille" refers to the Bastille fortress that once stood on the site. The Bastille was originally built as a medieval fortress in the 14th century and later served as a prison. On July 14, 1789, the prison was stormed by a mob during the French Revolution, marking a pivotal moment in the uprising against the monarchy. The fall of the Bastille became a symbol of the people's struggle for liberty and the abolition of the French monarchy.

Today, the Place de la Bastille is a vibrant square bustling with activity. It features the July Column (Colonne de Juillet), a monument erected in the center of the square to commemorate the July Revolution of 1830. The column is topped with the famous bronze statue, "Génie de la Liberté" (Spirit of Liberty), representing the spirit of freedom.

The square is also known for its lively nightlife and entertainment scene. It is surrounded by numerous cafes, bars, and theaters, making it a popular gathering spot for both locals and tourists. The Opera Bastille, one of the major opera houses in Paris, is located nearby and adds to the cultural significance of the area.

The Louvre is one of the world's largest and most famous art museums, located in the heart of Paris, France. It is housed in the Louvre Palace, a former royal residence that dates back to the late 12th century. The museum is situated on the right bank of the Seine River and spans an impressive area of over 72,000 square meters.

Pei and completed in 1989. The pyramid serves as the central access point to the museum's various exhibition halls and wings.
