It certainly is a traffic circle. I can’t imagine what must have been going through those people’s heads when they decided to just make a giant open loop that people can enter with no clear plan to exit. It’s like a highway with no lanes with houses built directly on it.
The area was cleared from the Bastille fortress-prison decades before cars appeared. It became a huge intersection for very slow pedestrian and horse traffic, surrounded by downtown style businesses.
All protests involving Parisians happen at Place de la Bastille. It’s a large open space and traffic circle holding all kinds of public events.

Ok so they can make like 2 lanes for cars. Not 10.
