The spacious Place de la Concorde in Paris, at the intersection of two main axes (Louvre-Arc de Triomphe and Madeleine-Palais-Bourbon), is recognized as one of the finest squares in the world. Originally called Place Louis-XV, with an equestrian statue of the king in the center, it was laid out by the architect Jacques-Ange Gabriel, who between 1755 and 1775 built two magniificent buildings on the north side of the square, flanking Rue Royale: to the right the Ministère de la Marine (since 1792; originally the Garde-Meuble de la Couronne, the royal furniture store), to the left the elegant Hôtel Crillon.
