The Place de la Concorde is located between the Champs-Elysées and the Tuileries Gardens and, thanks to its history, is one of the most representative squares in Paris. Here is the Obelisk of Luxor. I recommend visiting it!

A famous landmark in Paris, very pretty at night.

Gift from the Egyptians. One end point of the famous Champs-Elysees.

Very nice place with beautiful city looks

Brilliant fountain, great photo opportunity

Yet another historical landmark in Paris. Easily recognisable due to the Egyptian obelisk in its centre.

Place de la Concordia played important roles in French history. Built just before the French Revolution, the Revolution Square became at that time the place of execution of criminals through the guillotine. After these periods, the square is renamed Place de La Concordia, connecting Champs Elysees and Jardin des Tuileries. It is a French Historical Monument.

What a nice place to be amazed by fantastic view of Champs-Élysées

The views and surrounding statues are amazing. How they managed to engineer monuments of this size to be erected still astounds me.

Nice place especially when sun set

The greatness of the Egyptian civilization in the heart of Paris

Nice square in the centre of Paris, with many interesting things around.

The biggest square in Paris with historical meaning as this is the square where the guillotine was installed during the revolution. Today the square is used for a lot of big government events. The square is surrounded by beautiful buildings and links the champs elysee street to the jardin des tuileries and the palais Bourbon. This is also where the famous egyptian obelisk is located. A must do when visiting Paris.

From the outside it was a nice iconic movie view. Worth stopping by. Also the US Embassy is near by, the police won’t let you sleep there while you wait for the embassy to open. They hit you in the face with the back of their machine guns. Also bathrooms are free here. Nice place.

An amazing place to be in especially in the evening. With all its Egyptian history and patrimony.

I am very excited when I was visiting this place with my working colleagues.

Slap bang in the middle of Paris with a 360 degree view of the many monuments and fountains. Only one criticism, absolutely no seating anywhere, so be prepared to just walk around.

During october 2022, It was provisional under construction. There was a Big tent

Enjoy the busy heart of Paris… Place de la Concorde is between Arc de Triomphe and The Louvre Museum

Worth a look as it’s such a famous monument. Just been cleaned up so looking good.

A great place to see while walking around the paris

Iconic location, especially at night 😘

One of the most beautiful squares in Paris with a amazing Egyptian monument, a stone pillar. This square is worth a visit and easily reachable by walk from Tuileries Garden. The view of the river and the Eiffel in the bridge nearby is amazing

The concorde is a great place to take pictures, it is surrounded by so many attractions in Paris, the Tuileries garden, the Louvre, Eiffel tower, street Rivoli, and of course the famous Champs Élysées.The sunset here is amazing! And it is nice to walk here!

Wonderful place to visit whilst walking round the city centre and stunning peace of Egyptian history.

Always love coming to this historical place. The location of a beheading however a must see regardless of interest. Paris is a wonderful city.

Great place and historic. Also, this is where the team buses are kept during the Sunday of the final stage of the Tour de France. I took some great photos here and met several cyclists. Highly recommend walking here when the race is finished.

Beautiful place close to metro

Splendid with its 2 monumental fountains and its majestic façades.Located at the bottom of the Champs-Élysées avenue, it is accessible via the Concorde Metro station (Metro 1, 8 and 12)

Re-tour motors guided tour! Interesting 🤔!Must try!! Timothy is friendly!!!

Major public square, scene of executions, decorated with fountains, statues.One of the best tourist attraction, Center of Avenue.A very large square with a very beautiful architecture, here you will find some Paris landmarks that are typical photo spots of the city. It is a pity that cars pass through this area, it would be much better if it were exclusively pedestrianized.The square is nice and open. Great place to walk around and for photo op. Accessible towards Tuilleries garden and to river Seine. First time close to this huge sized Obelisk, its really impressive and very beautiful, full of golden hieroglyphs, its really an impressive work of art. Do not miss it if you have the chance to be close by!The Place de la Concorde is one of the major public squares in Paris, France. Measuring 7.6 ha (19 acresin area, it is the largest square in the French capital. It is located in the citys eighth arrondissement, at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées.With the Reign of Terror coming to its end in 1795, the square was officially renamed Place de la Concorde, which is a reference to peace and harmony.It was the site of many notable public executions, including the executions of King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and Maximilien Robespierre in the course of the French Revolution, during which the square was temporarily renamed Place de la Revolution.

Lovely place from Champs-Elysées to le Louvre but very noisy due to traffic jam all day long

Fairly rich in history, the beauty in this place is not necessarily found on its surface but rather in the story behind it...yet the statues and fountains there lack luster and explanation.. they both gotta correspond..

Nice place with a lot of space

Place de la concorde is close to museum

A very large square with a very beautiful architecture, here you will find some Paris landmarks that are typical photo spots of the city. It is a pity that cars pass through this area, it would be much better if it were exclusively pedestrianized.Unfortunately, at the time of my visit, the Obelisk was undergoing renovation.

Gorgeous. Well worth a visit. You can drop in for a coffee and crepe at the entrance to Jardins de Tuillieries in front of The Louvre, or walk to the Champs Elysees.

Great location, a visiter!Place de La Concorde is perhaps the most spacious square in Paris. Unlike other squares in the city, it is bounded by buildings only to the North. Louis XV architect Jacques-ane Gabriel deliberately opened the view of the Seine, the Tuileries Park and the Champs-Elysees. Parisians who came to the opening in 1763 saw on the square not a long pencil obelisk, but a statue of Louis XV. However, the subsequent history of the square was tragic. On may 30, 1770, Parisians celebrated the second (first by proxymarriage of the grandson of Louis XV with the Austrian Princess Marie Antoinette. Many people gathered as the Treasury paid for music, fireworks, wine, bread and meat. The celebration ended with a terrible stampede and the death of 139 Parisians. A century later, the same thing will happen to the Russian Emperor Nicholas II on the Khodynka field. As you know, he shared the fate of Louis XVI. Concorde it was too late. With the guillotine. The guillotine moved here to the place de La revolution from the famous place de Greve (now the place Hotel de Villein 1792 to mark the 30th anniversary of the square with the execution of Louis XVI. However, deprived of Royal privileges, he was called by that time citizen Louis Capet. His hapless wife followed him six months later in October 1793 here. However, the accusers Danton, Hebert, Chaumette and Robespierre were beheaded here. After all, the guillotine, a Scottish invention, was applied to all citizens without exception, which emphasized their equality before the law. The directory removed the guillotine from the square and renamed it the place de La Concorde. Artist David proposed to install a Statue of "Horses of Marley" on the side of the Champs-Elysees. However, the main changes occurred almost half a century later under Louis-Philippe in 1836. The main landmark of the square is the 23-meter Luxor obelisk of Ramses II. Installing the 230-ton gift of the Governor of Egypt, Mehmet Ali, was a non-trivial task. Allegorical statues of the 8 main cities of France (Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, Brest, Nantes, Lille, Rouen and Strasbourgemphasize regional unity. Paris and Toulouse are forgotten. Interestingly, the statue of Strasbourg was draped from 1871 to 1918, when the capital of Alsace was occupied as a result of the disastrous Franco-Prussian war of 1870.Read less

The square is nice and open. Great place to walk around and for photo op. Accessible towards Tuilleries garden and to river Seine.

First time close to this huge sized Obelisk, its really impressive and very beautiful, full of golden hieroglyphs, its really an impressive work of art. Do not miss it if you have the chance to be close by!

On a beautiful sunny autumn day we strolled down the Champs-Élysées to the Place de la Concorde to see the fountain and the obelisk. It is indeed a truly historical location and you can see the Eiffel Tower from here as well.It is a must see in Paris and easily accessed by car or bus and quite near the major shopping brands on the Champs-Élysées and round at the opera Garnier.

A beautiful Plaza with lovely fountains in the heart of Paris city. Its around 2 km walk, away from Eiffel tower, or around 2 km walk from the Arc de Triumph. One can visit all these attractions on foot, when visiting Paris. A visit to the Place de la Concorde is not to be missed, especially during the evening hours.
