Place de la Concorde in Paris

At The End of the Champs Elysses

Place de la Concorde

Place de la Concorde is a public square located at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées avenue in Paris, France. It is known for its iconic Egyptian obelisk, which was given to France by Egypt in the 19th century. The square was originally built in the 18th century and was named Place Louis XV in honor of the king at the time. During the French Revolution, it was renamed Place de la Révolution, and it was the site of many public executions, including that of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. The square was later renamed Place de la Concorde as a symbol of peace and harmony. Today, the square is a popular tourist destination and offers stunning views of many Parisian landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre Museum.
