Paris : Colonne de Juillet Guided Tour with an expert Guide
In the heart of Place de la Bastille, the Colonne de Juillet rises with pride, marking the spot where revolutions once shook the city to its core. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of liberty and the people’s voice.
Built between 1835 and 1840, this 47-meter-high monument honors the July Revolution of 1830. Topped with the gilded figure of the “Spirit of Freedom,” the column rests above a crypt holding the remains of hundreds of revolutionaries. Its green bronze shaft, carved with names and symbols, reminds us of the price of progress.
With LeFrenchWay, step into the spirit of revolution. As you ride past the column on a Solex, your guide will share the story of its turbulent origins, the uprisings it commemorates, and its place in Parisian memory. Whether on foot, bike, or Solex, this guided tour offers a stirring dive into the heartbeat of democratic ideals.
