Concorde (Place de la)

Concorde (Place de la) is a public square located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, near the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées. Historically, it was the site of the Place Louis XV and the place where the guillotine was used during the French Revolution. Today, it features the large, prominent Place de la Concorde monument with fountains and obelisks, serving as a major traffic hub and public space. Surrounded by significant architecture including the Hôtel de la Marine and close to the Tuileries Garden, it is a symbol of Parisian history and urban elegance.
