Paris: Place de la Concorde

Excited to see this after being in Luxor, Egypt and seeing the obelisks twin. I think it was cooler in Egypt, but they did have some interesting schematics on how they moved it and put it up 100 years ago. The only thing was that they were so proud of being able to put it up 100 years ago, they forgot that the Egyptians did it 4000 years ago (without unions).

Oh yes, and in case you're into the history thing - this is where Marie Antionette baby lost her head.
