The pyramid of the Bois de Vincennes or obelisk of the Bois de Vincennes is an obelisk erected in 1731 in the center of the Bois de Vincennes, currently in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, to mark its reforestation by Louis XV, and to provide an orientation function.
Popular legend has it that the obelisk was erected on the site of the oak tree under which Saint Louis dispensed justice in the 13th century. (source Wikipedia)
