The gate-house of the Porte Sainte-Antoine at this location was replaced by a triumphal arch in honor of Henry III's reign in Poland. Due to lack of funding, plaster was used instead of bronze to create a commemorative elephant commissioned by Napoleon for this location, where the July Column now stands. Bernard-Rene de Launay was in command when this place was besieged by a group of vainqueurs led by Camille Desmoulins and Georges Danton, and that attack resulted in de Launay's head being placed on a pike and carried through the streets of Paris. For 10 points, name this French prison whose "storming" in 1789 is celebrated every year on July 14.
