Intro to La Place de la Concorde

Edit Section - Paris Monuments and Historical Sites : La Place de la Concorde

Métro: Concorde. At the other end of the Champs-Elysées from the Arc de Triomphe, this is one of Paris’ great historical landmarks: here is where Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and several thousand others were beheaded during the French Revolution. The oldest artifact in Paris stands here today: a 230-ton Egyptian obelisk, L’Obélisque de Luxor, a generous gift from Mohamed Ali to Louis Philippe that was installed in 1836.
