It was built to show the world his supreme imperial power, named "Louis XV Square". During the Revolution, it was called "Piazza Revolution" and was used by the French people as a stage for the destruction of royal power. In 1795, it was renamed "Plaza Concorde" and renovated in 1840. This is the scale. The square is octagonal, with the Egyptian obelisk in the center, which was given to Charles V by the Egyptian governor.

Around the square are eight statues, symbolizing France's eight major cities.
