The Place de la Concorde is the best spot to start walking either tower the Arc de Triomphe or the Louvre. You can also get a glimpse of a lot of the famous monuments and landmarks of Paris. The obelisk and two beautiful fountains at this place and the eiffel in the distance make fantastic photography targets. A nice place... More

Place de la Concorde is a great place to go for pictures. The scenery is so beautiful in late August! When in Paris, it's a must to walk (and shop) through Champse Elysee. Weather you are a shopping guru or a history buff, you are sure to enjoy Champs!My husband and I decided to tour France and Italy for our... More

Place de la Concorde is located at 1 end of C-E, the other end of C-E being Arc de Triomph. It was raining 1 day in the afternoon while we were walking towards Place de la Concorde. Paris looks even more charming and romantic while it rains especially if you are walking on a street lined with trees. The fountain... More

It s kind of cool to take picture of Effel Tour from it. a very beautiful square! it is a nice spot to take photo.

This is a great area for photographs and to get an overview of the city.

If you're planning on visiting the champse elysee you should consider doing these in conjunction as... More

The whole environment around the square is just great. The gardens you walk through, the pool of water with chairs all round that you can just sit in and laze away in front of the Concorde is just great. I was there during the summer of 2012, and sat at the square as the sun was coming down...I actually took... More

Despite the traffic, I love the fact that apart from the fountains and the obelisk in the centre, this square has no building. Any time of the day or night, this site is attractive even though one would wish it to be totally barred from the cars. One great way to visit it is in August, where traffic is scarce,... More

I was in Paris in July of 2012. We started at the Louvre, and then decided to walk to the Eiffel Tower. You walk past beautiful gardens, and get to the Place de la Concorde. This is where the guillotine used to be back in revolutionary times. Louis XIV, Marie Antoinette, and countless others were bereaved here. This place is... More

As many reviewers have already pointed out, Place de la Concorde is in fact a roundabout. However I would say that it is fairly pretty for a roundabout! It is a very central spot in Paris and if you are walking around the city, it is highly likely you will walk past here. You can get some likely pictures of... More
