Place de la Concorde

The most beautiful fountain in Paris is on the left, the Assemblée Nationale is right of center in the back, the dome of the Institut de France to the right of the Assemblée Nationale. The tall structure at the center of the plaza is the Obélisque de Luxor, an ancient Egyptian obelisk which originally marked the entrance to the Amon temple at Luxor. The plaza is the largest place in Paris, and was being set up with stages and seating for what I assume was more celebration around the Olympics.
