After seeing the "Three Treasures" of the Louvre, Mengdu and Liping began to walk out along the exit road.

While they were leaving the museum, they took a look at a few passing pavilions, and inadvertently, the time was almost noon.

"Mengdu, hurry up, look, it's almost eleven o'clock!"

After leaving an exhibition hall where the treasures of Napoleon's palace were hidden, Liping deliberately glanced at her watch and found that it was almost time for the tour group to gather, so she hurriedly reminded Mengdu to go out.

Mengdu also looked down at his watch, and saw that it was indeed very close to the meeting time that the tour guide said.

So, he pulled Liping, took a big stride, and quickly rushed to the exit.

After Liping and Mengdu rushed to the exit, they walked out of the Louvre through the special road on the right.

At the venue agreed before the visit, Liping and Mengdu quickly found the tour guide Xiao Luo.

Beside Xiao Luo, there were more than a dozen members of the "Golden Autumn Troupe".

The tour guide Xiao Luo counted the heads, and there were still three members missing. So, everyone waited for a while at the agreed venue.

In a few moments, the other three members of the group had arrived from the exit.

So, the tour guide Xiao Luo raised the pennant high above his head and said loudly:

"Friends, just now, three of our team members were late, although they were only two minutes late, but they still delayed the team's action. Not again next time! This will delay everyone's time and will also affect our travel itinerary. Okay, it's 11:05 Paris time, so please get on the bus with me! ”

After the tour guide Xiao Luo finished speaking, he took the lead in the direction of the parking lot.

So, the twenty members of the tour group also lined up in a column and followed Xiao Luo to the parking lot.

At this point, it's a little early for lunch.

In order to give everyone more time to visit the "Eiffel Tower", after getting on the bus, the tour guide Xiao Luo said to the tour group members inquiringly:

"Friends, today, we still have three attractions that we have not visited. In order to leave more time for everyone to go to the 'Eiffel Tower', now, let's visit the 'Place de la Concorde', and in the afternoon, everyone will visit the 'Eiffel Tower' and 'Versailles' wholeheartedly. ”

"Okay, Xiao Luo, how you arrange, we will act, we will all listen to you!"

Among the members of the tour group, there was a middle-aged man with a Shandong accent, who loudly crowded the tour guide.

"Yes, it's not time to eat anyway, so let's visit the 'Place de la Concorde' first."

The companion next to the Shandong man also responded loudly.

So, the minibus drove to the "Place de la Concorde", not far from the Louvre.

After arriving at the parking lot of the "Concorde Square", the tour guide Xiao Luo led all the members of the "Golden Autumn Group" and entered the "Concorde Square" from the south of the square.

The tour guide Xiao Luo told everyone that the biggest feature of "Place de la Concorde" lies in its historical significance.

Located in the center of Paris, the Place de la Concorde is magnificent, with a total construction area of more than 84,000 square meters, a vast area, a transparent view, and a very elegant environment.

The tour guide Xiao Luo led the members of the "Golden Autumn Group" and walked to the center of the Place de la Concorde while explaining the history and characteristics of the square.

From the introduction of the tour guide, the group members learned:

Located on the north bank of the Seine, the Place de la Concorde is not only the most famous square in France, but also one of the most beautiful in the world.

The Place de la Concorde was built in 1757 and in 1763 it was named Place Louis XV.

During the French Revolution in 1789, it was renamed "Place de la Révolution"; It was not until after 1795 that it was officially renamed "Place de la Concorde".

The whole design of the "Place de la Concorde" is octagonal, and in the center stands an Egyptian obelisk, which was a precious gift from the then Governor of Egypt to Charles V more than 300 years ago.

This Egyptian obelisk, carved from a single piece of pink granite, is a priceless treasure!

At the same time, the obelisk is also a historical treasure book, and around the stele, Egyptian hieroglyphs are engraved, all of which praise the great achievements of the Egyptian pharaohs.

On the edge of the "Place de la Concorde", there are a total of 8 statues, symbolizing the 8 famous cities of France;

In the center of the square, the statue of Louis XV on a war horse cast in steel fully shows the incomparable power and dignity of Louis XV during his reign.

Standing in the middle of the Place de la Concorde, visitors can look out over the Tuileries Gardens with their Chiba dancing and the sparkling waters of the Seine.

At either end of the "Place de la Concorde" are the headquarters of the French Navy and the Grand Hotel Creon.

In 1778, representatives of France and the United States met at the Hotel de Creon and concluded the Franco-American Treaty of Alliance and the Franco-American Treaty of Commerce and Friendship.

At both ends of the Place de la Concorde, there are statues of horses from Louis XIV Marley, the Church of the Madeleine, and the fountains of the Place de la Concorde.

The fountains of the "Place de la Concorde" are generally divided into two groups: north and south:

To the south is the Poseidon Fountain Group, and to the north is the River God Fountain Group.

Whether it is the river god fountain group or the sea god fountain group, the two groups are divided into three layers of fountains according to the upper, middle and lower.

Above the fountain, there are six delicate mermaids, all carved in bronze by the best craftsmen of the time.

In the hands of the six mermaids, each holding a big carp jumping happily;

The fountain's five or six meters high jet of water that shoots straight into the sky is spewed out of the round mouths of these large carps.

From a distance, the two fountains in the north and south are like two giant butterflies, forming two groups of large eagles spraying nectar day and night.

Approaching the fountains, the number of nozzles in the two groups of fountains is impossible for visitors to calculate with the naked eye.

The "River God Fountain" group in the north is divided into two groups of sculptures:

On the upper floor of the sculpture are several cherubs with bodies* and immature faces, and they are loved by everyone;

On the lower floor of the sculpture are dozens of fairies of different shapes, the same size as real people in life, with a complete upper body and a green robe on the lower body.

The fairies from different directions gathered around the same core.

In this core, sit three beautiful Rhine goddesses.

The three Rhine goddesses are:

Harvest fairies with grapes in their arms;

a love fairy with flowers in her hand;

A fruit fairy that symbolizes sweetness.

The three graceful and noble goddesses, together with the nymphs surrounding them, sat naturally and harmoniously around a cylinder studded with golden reliefs.

The gold embossing on the cylinder is a disc-shaped water jet platform with various exquisite craftsmanship.

On top of the water spray platform, there are also many golden reliefs of different images, which are made up of groups of heads of gods.

On either side of each deity, there are diversion grooves for the fountain to flow.

The murmuring of water, gurgling out of the grooves, resembled the beautiful long hair that fell from the heads of the gods.

The "Poseidon Fountain" group in the south is not significantly different from the "River God Fountain" group in the north in terms of sculpture design, art form and architectural style, but the sculpture forms of the gods above are different.

Just as the tour guide Xiao Luo led the members of the "Golden Autumn Group" to visit the "Concorde Square" unhurriedly and explain the long history and architectural characteristics of the square one by one, Mengdu's upper and lower eyelids couldn't help but start fighting.
