Place de la Concorde

On the Right Bank of the Seine River, Place de la Concorde stands as the largest square in Paris, flanked by the Tuileries Garden and the Champs-Élysées. This historic site once hosted the infamous guillotines of the French Revolution, but today it is celebrated for its striking monuments and storied architecture. Visitors can stroll through the expansive square to admire the ancient Luxor Obelisk, which rises prominently at its center, and the monumental Fontaine des Mers and Fontaine des Fleuves, each a masterpiece of sculpture and design. The square also features palaces that have been transformed into luxurious hotels, adding to its grandeur.
