A SIMILAR SITE SHOWS HOW FAR THE UPRISING SPREAD


THE PATTERN OF ARTERY, AUTHORITARIAN POINT OF FOCUS AND VOID FOR ASSEMBLING TROOPS APPEARS BEYOND THE RIVER... 
(ARTERY BUILT IN 1854, CHURCH IN 1858)

In the poverty-stricken, tumultuous 13th:

 Sites added to a document in the National Library that shows the barricades of June 1848 zoom

The dome of the Pantheon, close to the city's center, appears in the background.

 Notre-Dame de la Gare, one of the churches built to encourage obedience.

The space now allows a market: There is room for stands, trucks, parked cars and traffic. 


We'll come back to this neighborhood,
and show other ways in which 
its tempestuous past affects its present.
