[European honeymoon trip 2016.03] It is said that free travel should be a strategy, but there is a surprise that does not do a strategy without doing a strategy. We wandered around Paris in a day, in fact, my destination only three main places on this day, namely the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, but from the map, these three places are a little far apart, and our leisurely tour is not in a hurry, We also like to measure the city with our feet, so we took the "Big Bus" driving map and walked roughly along its route. Unconsciously, we walked to the "Concorde Square" here. Seeing this large empty square, seeing the monument, thinking that this square must be more famous, said to be ashamed, at that time, I really don't know what its name is, or after returning to check the information. But this does not affect our appreciation of its beauty! The road is small square stone brick, very classical charm. We looked around here for a week and saw a Ferris wheel, so I walked over to see, originally a little heart to sit, but thinking that the walking distance is relatively long, afraid of not enough time, thinking about the next few days to see the situation to sit, so only took pictures. There is a special shape stone monument next to it. Later, I learned that it was originally called the "Egyptian obelisk", which was engraved with Egyptian text, which was given to France in ancient times. There were two beautiful fountains in Concorde Square, but unfortunately there was no water spray at the time. Here, there are many manpower bicycle drivers to come to the tourists to do business, take their price cards, in fact, not expensive, 10 euros a person, not in the past different attractions will have different prices, the most expensive is 30 euros. Standing in the middle of the square, you can see the majestic Arc de Triomphe from the Champs Elysees. It takes about half an hour to walk from Concorde Square to the Arc de Triomphe.

    The Concorde is located in the heart of Paris, on the north bank of the Seine, one of the most famous squares in France, built in the 18th century by the order of King Louis XV. It was built to show the world his supreme imperial power, named "Louis XV Square". During the Revolution, it was called "Piazza Revolution" and was used by the French people as a stage for the destruction of royal power. In 1795, it was renamed "Plaza Concorde" and renovated in 1840. This is the scale. 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. Around the square are eight statues, symbolizing France's eight major cities.

    Concorde Square is located in the centre of Paris, on the North Bank of the Seine River. It is the most famous square in France. It was built by King Louis XV in the 18th century. It was first built to show the world his supreme imperial power, named "Louis XV Square". During the Great Revolution, it was called the "Revolutionary Square" and was used by the French people as a stage to show the destruction of the monarchy. In 1795, it was renamed Concorde Square. The square is octagonal, with an Egyptian Obelisk standing in the center. It was presented to Charles V by the Governor of Egypt. The obelisk is carved out of the whole piece of pink granite, which is engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphs to celebrate the great achievements of Egyptian Pharaohs. The square is surrounded by eight statues, symbolizing eight major cities in France. Standing in the center of the square, you can see the broad Champs Elysees Avenue and the Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Avenue. On both sides are the famous Bourbon Palace of the National Assembly Building and Madeleine Cathedral. It's not far from the Louvre or the Elysee Palace, the presidential palace of France.

    Concorde Square is located in the middle of the Champs Elysees in Paris, take Metro Line 1.8.12 to Concorde Station, and walk to Concorde Square in the Louvre. I like history, I really like to go to those places with historical traces, feel it, really can be intoxicated in the gear of history can not be pulled out~ This is called the guillotine square by the French, it is said that nearly 60,000 people who were broken here during the French Revolution ~ oh my god! ! To everyone's knowledge of science: Concorde is located in the center of Paris, on the north bank of the Seine, the most famous square in France, built in the 18th century by King Louis XV. It was built to show the world his supreme imperial power, named "Louis XV Square". During the Revolution, it was called the Revolution Square and was used by the French people as a stage for the destruction of the monarchy. It was renamed the Concorde Square in 1795 and renovated in 1840 to form this scale. The square is octagonal, with the Egyptian obelisk standing in the center, which was given to Charles V by the Egyptian governor (which was actually forced to give it!) and the obelisk is carved from a whole piece of pink granite, engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphic texts, pharaohs of Egypt for their great achievements. Around the square are eight statues, symbolizing France's eight major cities.
