They Are Hung In a Little Rustic
Building In Paris.
The bells Of the Bastille are still in
Paris in a little court in Avenue d'Ey-
lau, where they are hung in a little
rustic building There is no doubt as
to their authenticity. They carry IN
relief their story. These three bells
were made by Louis Cheron, founder
to the court for the royal Bastille in
the year 1T61." Fleurs-de-lis, crosses
and sacred figures adorn the legend,
The bells formerly were part OF the
clock installed by NJ. Sartine in 1764.
In the archives de parsenal are all the
documents relative to the work.
On July IA. 1889. the balls Of the
assailants stopped the clock OF the
Bastille at a quarter past IN the even
ing. Palloy. who demolished the pris-
on. three days later received the order
to deliver the clock to the commander
Of the Paris militia. who transported
it no one knows whittier. After the
revolution the bells were found at the
foundries OF Rouilly-sur-Andelle. n
Eure, where. under the reign Of ter
TOR. the church bells were converted
into money. The proprietor Of the
foundry was interested in these relic.
and did not melt then. He installed
the three bells in his works with tn,
