I find la Place de la Concorde fascinating for all the wrong reasons. It's relatively hard to navigate (for cars and pedestrians alike), and rather...imposing. Never mind the Egyptian obelisk which marks the spot (so the story goes) where the Burbon king, Louis XVI, and his Hapsburg queen (that would be Marie Antoinette) left this world. It's an odd space/place.
It's a lesson in fashion as well: one can be attracted to the odd, the stand-offish...sometimes something totally wrong can seem so right. The mistake many make is taking the seemingly right for the absolutely right. But this is fashion's playpen; we can suspend belief in all the contradictions and absurdities that real life poses.
