Comment
The July Column is a column erected on the Place de la Bastille in Paris between 1835 and 1840 to commemorate the three days of the July Revolution of 1830, known as Les Trois Glorieuses, which led to the fall of Charles X and the Restoration regime, and the establishment of the July Monarchy, with the reign of Louis-Philippe I, Duc d'Orléans, who became King of the French. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonne_de_Juillet
