Alisa.

During the reign of Louis XV, he decreed the construction of a square to show the authority of the king (yes, anyway, when the king had nothing to do he could order the making of a square or decree the building of a palace), so this place is also called Louis XV plaza. After the French Revolution, peace returned and the people wished there would never again be scenes of bloody massacres, and changed the name to Place de la Concorde. The fountains and the obelisk in the square are both interesting, with the obelisk recording in cuneiform writing the Pharaoh Rameses deeds. How did I just suddenly start humming a Jay Chou song.... Love is in.... the BC era……
