The larger square in Paris is a very important place, because of the busy traffic, so few tourists walk, the most important thing is the obelisk and fountain, the buildings are historical buildings, directly to the Louvre.

    The Concorde is located in the heart of Paris, on the north bank of the Seine, one of the most famous squares in France, built in the 18th century by the order of King Louis XV. 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. The obelisk is carved from a whole piece of pink granite, engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphs, pharaohs of Egypt for their great achievements. Around the square are eight statues, symbolizing France's eight major cities.

    Concorde Square is located in the centre of Paris, on the North Bank of the Seine River. It is the most famous square in France. It was built by King Louis XV in the 18th century. It was first built to show the world his supreme imperial power, named "Louis XV Square". During the Great Revolution, it was called the "Revolutionary Square" and was used by the French people as a stage to show the destruction of the monarchy. In 1795, it was renamed Concorde Square. The square is octagonal, with an Egyptian Obelisk standing in the center. It was presented to Charles V by the Governor of Egypt. The obelisk is carved out of the whole piece of pink granite, which is engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphs to celebrate the great achievements of Egyptian Pharaohs. The square is surrounded by eight statues, symbolizing eight major cities in France. Standing in the center of the square, you can see the broad Champs Elysees Avenue and the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Avenue. On both sides are the famous Bourbon Palace of the National Assembly Building and Madeleine Cathedral. It's not far from the Louvre or the Elysee Palace, the presidential palace of France.

    Concorde Square is located in the middle of the Champs Elysees in Paris, take Metro Line 1.8.12 to Concorde Station, and walk to Concorde Square in the Louvre. I like history, I really like to go to those places with historical traces, feel it, really can be intoxicated in the gear of history can not be pulled out~ This is called the guillotine square by the French, it is said that nearly 60,000 people who were broken here during the French Revolution ~ oh my god! ! To everyone's knowledge of science: Concorde is located in the center of Paris, on the north bank of the Seine, the most famous square in France, built in the 18th century by King Louis XV. It was built to show the world his supreme imperial power, named "Louis XV Square". During the Revolution, it was called the Revolution Square and was used by the French people as a stage for the destruction of the monarchy. It was renamed the Concorde Square in 1795 and renovated in 1840 to form this scale. The square is octagonal, with the Egyptian obelisk standing in the center, which was given to Charles V by the Egyptian governor (which was actually forced to give it!) and the obelisk is carved from a whole piece of pink granite, engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphic texts, pharaohs of Egypt for their great achievements. Around the square are eight statues, symbolizing France's eight major cities.
