Introduction to the verb bastillonner
The English translation of the French verb bastillonner is “to barricade” or “to block off”. It is pronounced as /bas.ti.jɔ.ne/.

In everyday French, bastillonner is often used in the Passé Antérieur tense, which is a compound tense used to describe actions that occurred before another past action.
