Place de la Concorde is located at the foot of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. It is distinguished today by the Luxor Obelisk (3,300 years old with J-C and erected in May 1998), by the prestigious hotels that border it and by the two monumental fountains (Fountain of the Seas and Fountain of the Rivers). Created in 1772, the Place de la Concorde was first known to have been one of the places of execution during the French Revolution. Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette (among others) were guillotined there. It was between 1836 and 1846 that the architect Jacques-Ignace Hittorf shaped the square to become the one we know today.
