La Place de La Concorde, L'OBELISQUE, LA MADELEINE

The place today maintains the general appearance that it had in the eighteenth century.
The statue of Louis XV, removed during the Revolution, was replaced by the Obelisk of Luxor given by the viceroy of Egypt, Mohamed Ali, to Louis Phillippe.
The obelisk, 22.83 meters high and weighing 230 tons, which marked the entrance to the Amon temple at Luxor, was installed in 1836.
