There is something about France which is incomprehensible to most people around the world. I assure you, you are not alone, a lot of people are confused around here as well. There has been major political and social upheaval in the streets for years on end. Possibly since the revolution but even way before.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Disclosure<\/strong>: in order to give the (false) impression of a deserted Place de la\u00a0Concorde, I did away with some of the motor cars that were racing past us towards the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es.

Who knows exactly. Hordes of angry and unhappy people roam the streets and cause lots of aggravation. All the others, the vast majority, put their blinkers on and trudge on. It\u2019s nothing new. Some of these fights are justified, some less. Some are useful, some aren\u2019t. It still amazes me though that so much anger and violence are needed.<\/p>\n<h3>Place de la Concorde<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of February, the wife and I went to visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-de-la-marine.paris\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hotel de la\u00a0Marine<\/a>.

It did a pretty good job of scraping the Net. I\u2019ve had to correct a few glitches but the result is pretty good. Quotation marks are <em>de rigueur<\/em>, though.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2018Place de la\u00a0Concorde is one of the major public squares in Paris, measuring 7.6\u00a0ha in area. It is located at the eastern end of the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es, between the Tuileries Gardens and the Seine River. It was designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel in 1755 as a tribute to King Louis\u00a0XV, whose statue was placed at its centre. However, during the French Revolution, the statue was torn down and replaced by a guillotine, where many famous figures such as Louis\u00a0XVI, Marie-Antoinette, Robespierre, and Danton were executed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The square was renamed several times until it became Place de la\u00a0Concorde in 1795, symbolising peace and harmony. In 1836, a 3,300-year-old Egyptian obelisk from Luxor was erected at its centre as a gift from Egypt to France.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11732\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11732\" style=\"width: 684px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11732\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/antimuseum.com\/en\/2023\/03\/02\/is-paris-burning\/52713155998_51369717a2_k\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?fit=1367%2C2048&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1367,2048\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Yann Gourvennec @ygourven&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Copyright (c) 2023 Antimuseum.com&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"52713155998_51369717a2_k\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?fit=684%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-11732 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?resize=684%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Is Paris burning\" width=\"684\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?resize=684%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 684w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?resize=768%2C1151&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?resize=1025%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1025w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?resize=800%2C1199&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?resize=1320%2C1978&amp;ssl=1 1320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antimuseum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/52713155998_51369717a2_k.jpg?w=1367&amp;ssl=1 1367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11732\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paris wasn\u2019t burning on that warmish February Sunday but the sun was shining brightly anyway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Hotel de la\u00a0Marine, the former Navy Ministry<\/h3>\n<p>We visited the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-de-la-marine.paris\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>H\u00f4tel de la\u00a0Marine<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on February 26th, a historic building located on\u00a0<strong>Place de la\u00a0Concorde<\/strong>\u00a0in Paris.
