History

In August 1592, a group of halberdiers took the Doctor's TARDIS to the Bastille after finding it hidden in a rubbish dump in the city. (PROSE: The Massacre ^[+]Loading...["The Massacre (novelisation)"])

The Tenth Doctor said that the "Storming of the Bastille" was not as glamorous as the French would have people believe, saying that it was more of a "light drizzle". (PROSE: Forever Autumn ^[+]Loading...["Forever Autumn (novel)"])

In an alternate Paris in 1804, a futuristic New Bastille was constructed after the original had been destroyed. (PROSE: The Man in the Velvet Mask ^[+]Loading...["The Man in the Velvet Mask (novel)"])
