The Guardian has a list of Bastille Day links:
"It should be a great day to celebrate: the moment when the people of Paris stormed the Bastille prison, symbolically putting an end to the absolutism of Louis XVI's monarchy."
By the way, one of the keys to the Bastille is located at Mount Vernon, George Washington's estate. It was presented to Washington by the Marquis de Lafayette, who led the asssault on the French prison after returning from service in the American Revolution.
