The Place de la Concorde (French pronunciation: [plas də la kɔ̃kɔʁd]) is one of the major public squares in Paris, France. Measuring 8.64 hectares (21.3 acres) in area, it is the largest square in the French capital. It is located in the city's eighth arrondissement, at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées.
The place was designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel in 1755 as a moat-skirted octagon between the Champs-Élysées to the west and the Tuileries Garden to the east. Decorated with statues and fountains, the area was named Place Louis XV to honor the king at that time. The square showcased an equestrian statue of the king, which had been commissioned in 1748 by the city of Paris, sculpted mostly by Edmé Bouchardon, and completed by Jean-Baptiste Pigalle after the death of Bouchardon.
At the north end, two magnificent identical stone buildings were constructed. Separated by the rue Royale, these structures remain among the best examples of Louis Quinze style architecture. Initially, the eastern building served as the French Naval Ministry. Shortly after its construction, the western building became the opulent home of the Duc d'Aumont. It was later purchased by the Comte de Crillon, whose family resided there until 1907. The famous luxury Hôtel de Crillon, which currently occupies the building, took its name from its previous owners.

C'est Méhémet Ali, vice-roi d'Égypte, en signe de bonne entente qui, à l'instigation du baron Taylor puis de Jean-François Champollion, offre à Charles X et a la France au début de 1830 les deux obélisques érigés devant le temple de Louxor, mais seul celui de droite (en regardant le temple) est abattu et transporté vers la France. En échange des obélisques, Louis-Philippe Ier offre en 1845 une horloge en cuivre qui orne aujourd'hui la citadelle du Caire, mais qui, pour l'anecdote, ne fonctionna jamais, du moins aux dires des Cairotes, ayant été probablement endommagée lors de la livraison. Le deuxième obélisque a été officiellement rendu à l'Égypte par le Président François Mitterrand, lors de son premier septennat.
