- 1巴士底監獄（巴黎；巴士底日是法國國慶，7月14日）
The Bastille was a huge stone prison in Paris. French kings used it for people they wanted locked away, sometimes without a fair trial, so it stood for royal power. On 14 July 1789, during the French Revolution, a crowd attacked it and tore it down. That date is now France’s national holiday, Bastille Day — parades, , parties. The building’s full old name was the Bastille Saint-Antoine; it began as a fortress and later became a prison. When people say “the Bastille,” they mean this one place, not any jail. Though actually, only a few prisoners were inside that day — the attack mattered more as a symbol than as a rescue. Almost nothing of the building is left; a square marks where it stood.
組成Borrowed from French Bastille, from bastille, “fortress.” The English noun bastille (a fortress or prison) came from Middle English bastile, from Anglo-Norman and Old French words for a fortified tower or small fortress. This famous building was the Bastille Saint-Antoine.
