The first famous place we came across is the one where the revolution started: the Place de la Bastille, now a huge crossing of several major streets...or better Avenues.
A place to gather for a revolution in earlier centuries....
...now a place to meet friends and have a drink in the afternoon, pretty crowded..
We, too, had a drink in one of the bars, naturally :-) With 5.50 Euro for a simple beer it's not exactly a place for poor students, although lots of the people looked like this. Maybe it was the wrong choice for the drink, wine might have been cheaper. (For comparison: we bought a pretty decent bottle of 2006 Bordeaux wine in the supermarket for just 6.50 Euros.)
