Colonne de Juillet - a photo on Flickriver

Colonne de Juillet

            It has been a dream of mine to view Paris from the top of the Colonne de Juillet monument in Place de la Bastille. I've climbed onto the side of it during protests and looked down on the gilded Genius of Liberty from a nearby carnival ride, but when I heard the interior would be open for visitors after the reconstruction of the square, I was disappointed to realise they take you to the crypt. This view, from the bottom of the stairs looking towards the sky, is the closest you can get. On top, the railing is short, and due to suicides in the past, it is prohibited to reach the summit. The quest continues for another way to reach this sacred pinnacle in Paris.
