hi there... I am not sure about the portrail in ATTC but the following link may help you.
The second link gives you the note that 105 north tower was fictional ... made up by the author..
Hope these two help

Not very.
They were actually going for ammunition.
It's a British Royalist Viewpoint, so keep that in mind.
And here's the floor plan:

From The Project Gutenberg EBook of Historical Epochs of the French Revolution by H. Goudemetz
Which is a more reliable site than any edu your dumb teacher want you to use. What an ego masterbator she must be.

~I've got one! Find a good site on-line which gives you a description, blueprint or floorplan of the Bastille during the period in question and compare that to Dickens' description. Might be a little work, but then again, that might be what your teacher had in mind. And you might learn something, to boot.

Try a library because I did not find any diagrams of the Bastille online

.Would hardly describe Dickens as a royalist.Born into a poor family and making his own way in life.Dickens did visit France and as he was very good at shorthand,he probably had copious notes for his novel.The writer was known for his accuracy and detail.
Dickens declined the offer of a knighthood and never forgot who he was.He had no aspirations to join the aristocracy

I seen a documentary on TLC,it showed real footage of a tower I believe was the one you refer to?
Also had footage of a portable cart drawn giullotine in action.
Gruesome sight to see.
Check out TLC or History Channel, Discovery Channel Websites.
