The obelisk is located in the middle of a traffic island and Concorde Square, but fortunately there are traffic lights and sidewalks. It is interesting in itself, but what makes it special is that it is part of the grand walking path, the Louvre > Carusel > Dulles Garden > Concorde Place > Champs Elysees > Arc de Triomphe.

    This obelisk shipped from Egypt is basically the best preserved obelisk in the world, its pattern and corner wrapping are very delicate, standing on the Concorde Square, giving the square a lot of color.

    A dozen-meter-high obelisk, excavated from Luxor, Egypt, towers above the square of Paris's Concorde, the top of which is made of gold and sparkling. There are many mysterious ancient Egyptian texts on the obelisk, and he is also a symbol of the entire Concorde Square, which is worth a visit.

    Concorde Square is the largest square in France, and it is also an occasion for important events such as the National Day parade. We passed here on the way to the Louvre. Many tourists came here. A bus is very lively. You can also overlook the Eiffel Tower. The scenery is great!

    The Concorde Square is one of the most famous squares in France. It was built to show the monarchy at the beginning, but it was used as a stage for the destruction of the monarchy during the French Revolution. The famous Egyptian obelisk is also standing on the square, full of hieroglyphic texts of ancient Egypt, and there are eight statues around the square to symbolize France's eight major cities, but it was a pity that part of the repair was done when I went there. Concorde Square is actually small, the surrounding traffic is busy, the traffic is very large, and not only the car but also bicycles, heavy machines, etc. are mixed, so the traffic is very chaotic, pedestrians should be very very careful when crossing the road. You can also see the Arc de Triomphe directly from Concorde Square, but the distance is actually very far, the famous Champs Elysees in the middle.

    The Concorde is located in the middle of the Champs-Elysees in the heart of Paris, on the north bank of the Seine, close to the Louvre, the most famous square in France, built in the 18th century by the order of King Louis XV. The square is octagonal, with the Egyptian obelisk in the center, which was given to Charles V by the Egyptian governor. The obelisk is carved from a whole piece of pink granite, engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphs, pharaohs of Egypt for their great achievements.

    The Concorde is large, with the oldest monument in the center of the square, a monument that dates back more than 3,000 years. Besides, the square is famous for its use as a guillotine for Louis XVI and others during the French Revolution. This is a must visit for tourists to Paris.

    It is a large square with a magnificent fountain in the huge square. One is the entrance to Tuileries Park, which leads to the Louvre. From here you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. This is the place where the executions were carried out in ancient times and has great historical significance. The center of the square is the Luxor obelisk with a history of more than 3,000 years.
