The Luxor Obelisk on the Place de la Concorde is the oldest monument in Paris. It is well over 3,000 years old and originally came from Egypt. Here are the most important facts about its history and the monument: Origin and Age Location in Egypt: It originally stood with a second obelisk in front of the entrance to the Luxor Temple. Time: It was made during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II (13th century BC). The Gift: The viceroy of Egypt, Muhammad Ali Pasha, gave the obelisk to France in 1829 as a sign of friendship. The second obelisk remained in Egypt and was only officially "returned" by France in the 1990s (so it is still in Luxor). Transport to Paris The Journey: The transport was a technical masterpiece. The over 220-ton monolith of granite had to be shipped across the Nile, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean to Paris. The journey took almost three years. Erection: It was finally erected in 1836 under King Louis-Philippe I in the center of the Place de la Concorde. This location was deliberately chosen as a "neutral" monument to cover up the bloody history of the square during the French Revolution. Special Features Hieroglyphs: The inscriptions praise the deeds of Ramses II. The Golden Tip: The original tip was missing (it was probably stolen in ancient times). In 1998, France placed a new pyramid tip covered with gold leaf on the obelisk, as it would have looked in ancient Egypt. The Base: Diagrams are engraved on the base, explaining with which lifting devices and machines the obelisk was erected in the 19th century. Dimensions It is about 23 meters high and consists of a single piece of yellow granite.

The Luxembourg Gardens in Paris are a delightful place for miniature boating! On the central pond, known as the “Grand Bassin,” you can rent small wooden sailboats and steer them with a wooden pole. This activity, called “Les Voiliers du Luxembourg,” is a historic tradition that has entertained children and adults for generations. ⛵
