    The Place de la Concorde is located at the foot of the Avenue des Champs-Elysées. It is distinguished today by the obelisk of Louxor (dating back to 3300 years before Christ and erected in October 1836), by the prestigious hotels that line it and by the two monumental fountains ((Fontaine des Mers and Fontaine des Fleuves). Created In 1772, the Place de la Concorde was first known to have been the place of execution during the French Revolution. Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette (among others) were guillotined there. It is between 1836 and 1846 that the architect Jacques-Ignace Hittorf has designed the plaza to make it the one we know today.

        The maritime fountain has six colossal figures representing the Ocean, the Mediterranean, fish fishing, coral fishing and pearls and shells. Swans mingle with three geniuses symbolizing Maritime Navigation, Commerce and Astronomy. The fountain was added to the Place de la Concorde between 1836 and 1840.
