However, do you know it started out named “Place Louis XV” in 1763. Later named “Place de la Révolution” during the period of terror in the French revolution, and finally took the name of the “Place de la Concorde” in 1795, to mark the reconciliation of a Nation. Again, it was re-named “Place Louis XV” in 1814, and further “Place Louis XVI” in 1826. It was not until the reign of king of the French Louis-Philippe in 1830, that it takes the current name for good of the “Place de la Concorde”
