THE EXCEPTION THAT PROVES A RULE

 

PLACE D'ITALIE HAS NEVER HAD ANYTHING AT ITS HEART, BECAUSE ACROSS THE RIVER FROM THE GRAND AXIS, IT HAS NO CONNECTION WITH MONARCHY: 

      Adapted from a Google map

As it was before the changes, in 2017

Being changed, in 2019. The cement space is the pond's base.

Since 2022: Water and colored lights at night make the emptiness grand.

Eastern Paris's grand places 
illustrate the reasons for the city's majesty:
The imprint of kings and dread of rebels.
