Mainly a very busy traffic roundabout, but the Place
de la Concorde is an extremely important square in France’s history. It was the
primary location of the guillotine during the Reign of Terror. Marie Antoinette and Robespierre, among
others, were beheaded there. The obelisk in the center was a gift to France
from Egypt.
