By the river Seine in the 8th arrondissement of the French capital
is Place de la Concorde, the last and largest of the Parisian royal squares. Built from 1755 and originally named "Place Louis XV" it created a worthy
setting for the imposing equestrian statue of this monarch. In classical style, and following the shape of an octagon, the square separates the magnificent
gardens of Tuileries from the start of the Avenue des Champs-Elysees.As the citizens of Paris moved to bring about the abolition of the monarchy
and the introduction of first French Republic, the square was renamed "Place de la Revolution" in 1792. One year later a guillotine was erected where King
Ludwig XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were beheaded. After the July revolution of 1830 the city of love entered a period of somewhat more peaceful times and
the square of harmony became known as the impressively sounding "Place de la Concorde".
