Place de la Concorde, Paris | France Top Attractions

Place de la Concorde

Paris has an almost endless list of monuments, gardens and public spaces to see and explore. But aside from the Eiffel Tower, Champs-Elysees and Arc de Triomphe, you should also stop by the largest public square in all of France, Place de la Concorde.

Located at the end of the Champs-Elysees, Place de la Concorde is a 7.6-hectare square that has seen some of the most notable executions during the French Revolution including that of Marie-Antoinette and Louis XVI.

Designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel in 1755, the square features several statues and fountains, the most significant of which is the equestrian statue of King Place Louis XV sculpted by Edme Bouchardon and Jean-Baptiste Pigalle.

Jacques-Ignace Hittorf redesigned the square between 1836 and 1846 to what it is today where it features two famous fountains—the Fontaine des Fleuves and Fontaine des Mers—several prestigious hotels and the highlight of the square, the 3,300-year-old Egyptian Luxor Obelisk that was erected in 1836.

Place de la Concorde is a definite must-visit whenever you’re in Paris and it is part of our tour of the City of Lights. Get in touch with us at La Vacanza to know more about the packages that we offer.
