Colonne de Juillet

In the Place de la Bastille, the Colonne de Juillet (July Column) soars for 52 meters high. It was constructed between 1840 and 1845 as a memorial to all those who died during the French Revolution. The column is topped with a gilded statue designed to represent the spirit of freedom.

Hours Open 24 Hours
Tickets Admission is free
Andy’s Notes:

It is easy to get to July Column and Place de la Bastille using public transport. Just take the subway to the Bastille station. If you are driving, there is a public car park on Rue de Lyon not far from Place de la Bastille.
