  7. Bastille

  8. Bastille (cont’d) • The Bastion de Saint-Antoine was originally built as a gate during the Hundred Years war and became a prison after the conflict was done. • The first king to send prisoners there was Louis XIII. • Rumors began to spread amongst the common people that a fair deal of arms and gunpowder were being stored there; they demanded to see this. • The storming of the Bastille, which occurred on July 14 1789, was one of the key events leading directly to the French Revolution. • July 14th is now celebrated annually as Fête Nationale or ‘Bastille Day’.
