The BastilleThe Bastille�(48�5112N, 2�229ECoordinates: 48�5112N, 2�229E) was a prison in Paris, known formally as Bastille Saint-Antoine�Number 232, Rue Saint-Antoine�best known today because of the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, which along with the Tennis Court Oath is considered the beginning of the French Revolution. The event was commemorated one year later by the Fte de la Fdration. The French national holiday, celebrated annually on July 14 is officially the Fte Nationale, and officially commemorates the Fte de la Fdration, but it is commonly known in English as Bastille Day. Bastille is a French word meaning 'castle' or 'stronghold'; used with a definite article (la Bastille in French, the Bastille in English), it refers to the prison. Most people believe that the reason for the storming of the Bastille by the peasants was to release the prisoners, but this was also where the French Army stored their weaponry.
