Today is Bastille day, the french national holiday. It’s a remembering day for the storming of the bastille in 1789, the beginning of the french revolution. The photo above shows the place de la bastille, but there’s nothing left of the notorious prison of the ancien régime. The big column in the middle of the place commemorates of the july revolution in 1830, which marks the end of the bourbon restoration in france. The guy on the picture is my dad, btw.
