Extending from the Seine all the way to the Rue de Rivoli
is the Place de la Concorde, the largest and the most famous
single square in Paris. It probably would be possible to come
to Paris and miss this square if (a) your hotel were located
somewhere in the Latin Quarter and you never ventured beyond
it; (b) your only reason for coming to Paris was to go night-clubbing,
in which case you would probably want to sleep all day; and
(c) you just naturally don't take any interest in anything,
in which case there really was no reason for you to come to
Paris in the first place.
