October 2011 - Paris Day 3: Part 2

Kaitlyn look oh so French on the way to the Place de la Concorde area... absolutely adorable in her newly purchased hat in a little French boutique!

Tuileres Gardens is a public garden located between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde opened to the public in the 17th century.

the garden is also filled with statuary...

looking back through the gardens toward the Louvre

entering the Place de la Concorde

the Place de la Concorde...this is one of the major public squares in Paris and covers a little over 20acres. The square was built in the 18th century. This is the square where King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were beheaded among other people. The guillotine is no longer here, it was replaced with a plaque. However, there is an 75 foot obelisk from Luxor, Egypt here. It dates back 3,300 years and once sat at the entrance of the Luxor Temple in Egypt.
