What makes it distinct

A historic landmark surrounded by dense, older housing

Place de la Bastille itself is mostly a transport and nightlife hub, but the residential streets fanning out from it — on this side, into the 11th — are dense, older buildings that have often been subdivided into smaller flats over the decades. It's one of the busier, more heavily-used pockets of housing in the arrondissement.

Who calls us here

Residents in dense, subdivided buildings near the square

Most of our calls near Bastille come from residents in these smaller, older apartments, plus occasional calls from bars and restaurants around the square dealing with a shared drainage issue.

Good to know

A few things worth knowing about Bastille

Blocked toilets in subdivided older flats

Dense housing near the square means more households on the same ageing pipework — see Blocked Toilet.

Blocked drains around the square's bars

Heavy nightlife use nearby is a common source of blocked drains.

Older boilers in subdivided buildings

Smaller flats created by subdividing larger apartments sometimes share a hot water system that's stretched thin.

Emergency calls late into the night

With the square busy well past midnight, a fair share of our emergency call-outs here happen overnight.
