Place de la Concorde
The Place de la Concorde is the largest square in Paris, located at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées. Built in the 18th century, it played a significant role in French history, especially during the French Revolution, when it was the site of many public executions, including that of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette.
At its center stands the Luxor Obelisk, a 3,300-year-old monument gifted by Egypt in the 19th century. The square is surrounded by fountains, statues, and grand buildings, offering beautiful views of landmarks like the Champs-Élysées, Tuileries Garden, and the Seine River. Today, it’s a vibrant spot where history and elegance meet.
