TEC4680991: Ferris wheel and obelisque de la Concorde, Paris 75008, France. Designed by Jacques Ange Gabriel as a French garden, it is one of the most beautiful French squares. Inaugurated in 1763 as Place Louis XV, it became the place of the Revolution from 1792 to become the place of capital executions. Louis-Philippe will give it back its current name. In 1836, he called the architect Hittorf to redesign the square with the eight statues of the big cities of France and the fountains surrounding the Obelisque of Luksor. / Bridgeman Images
