Edit:
Re the below, it was completed in 1763 and called Place Louis XV. Then it was called Place de la Revolution, as it was when the King and Queen were executed there.

"After the Revolution it suffered a series of transformations and several changes of name: place de la Concorde, place Louis XV again, place Louis XVI, place de la Chartre, and once again place de la Concorde to symbolize the end of a troubled era and the hope of a better future."

Yes, following the French Revolution.
is this a travel question or a history question?
Yeah the guy up there has it, you should visit it, its really interesting and a little spooky.
It's on the Place de la Concorde in the 8th arrondissement. But the square didn't have this name at that time, I think it was called Place de la Constitution.
I'm French
