Place de la Concorde in Paris, Paris 75008. Architecture by Ange Jacques-Gabriel, 1755-1763. Designed by Jacques Ange Gabriel as a French garden, it is one of the most beautiful French squares. Inaugurated in 1763 as Place Louis XV, it became the place of the Revolution from 1792 to become the place of capital executions. Louis-Philippe will give it back its current name. In 1836, he called the architect Hittorf to reshape the square with the eight statues of the big cities of France and the fountains that surround the obelisque of Luksor without forgetting the rostral columns and candelabra that surrounded the square
