In the subway station beneath the square, stones from the Bastille's foundation can still be seen on line 5!.

I think the foundations are also marked out on the road in Place Bastille!.

On the site below, there's a photo of a model of the Bastille!. I believe this is in the Musee Carnavalet in the Marais, and it's built out of the actual stone of the Bastille!.
