Great place to stop and take in some of the Parisian sites on a walk from the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe. The Egyptian obelisk is very interesting, as are the beautiful fountains.

Great 360 degree views of the city. Nice fountains in the middle of this square. Can't be missed as very central and most tourist buses will go via this point. Great opportunities to take pictures esp late evenings.

Place de la Concorde is a great place to walk around. My husband and I walked along the Champs-Elysees, from Arc de Triomphe to Place de la Concorde.
Filled with statues and fountains, this is one of the most splendid Parisian squares. The 3,300 year old giant Egyptian obelisk decorated with hieroglyphics exalting the reign of the pharaoh Ramses II...

This was an interesting site with the ancient Egyptian relic in the miidle of the grand plaza. Unfortunately everything was surrounded in scapholding for Paris marathon which took away from the experience.

Great centrally-located square with history to boot! You really can't miss this area if you're going anywhere around town - you can see major museums, monuments, the Eiffel Tower...and it's right by the river. You can align yourself with the obelisk and see that everything is set in a straight line, both of the arc de triomphes and parks on...

This is an imposing site; however, there is lots of traffic so it is not very pedestrian-friendly. The plaza is framed by the Champs-Elysee, the Tuileries Garden and the Seine, with the National Assembly an imposing view on the other side of the river. Well worth a quick stop.

This is what Paris is about. The views in every direction are fantastic - up the Champs Elysee to the Arc de Triomphe, turn around and look thru the Tivoli gardens. The national Assembly is just over the Seine and then there is the spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower. be sure to look at the statues around the Place...
