![From Wikipedia, from the article about the Haussmann renovation of Paris: The centre of the city was also a cradle of discontent and revolution; between 1830 and 1848, seven armed uprisings and revolts had broken out in the centre of Paris, particularly along the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, around the Hôtel de Ville, and around Montagne Sainte-Geneviève on the left bank. The residents of these neighbourhoods had taken up pavement stones and blocked the narrow streets with barricades, which had to be dislodged by the army.[7]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4aeelduk3bbz2f5dv5iknngr/bafkreibcabn7xje6v6cil7xuqbqtrqh4y273ip3p4fedhrtgmj7jt6m74m)
