About Place de la Concorde
Place de la Concorde is the largest public square in Paris, spanning 7.6 hectares at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées. Created in the 1750s by royal architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, the square originally honored King Louis XV before becoming the principal execution site of the French Revolution, where over 1,100 people were guillotined — including Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Renamed “Concorde” in 1795 as a symbol of national reconciliation, the square today is dominated by the Luxor Obelisk, a 3,300-year-old Egyptian monument gifted by Egypt and erected in 1836.
