THE INSPIRATION OF ROYAL SQUARES


IT IS SET APART, ITS ARCHITECTURE IS
HOMOGENOUS AND STRAIGHT STREETS CONVERGE TOWARD THE CENTER...

That a statue of a king on horseback dominates* 

*For the 17th-century model, please click. Monuments that are politically symbolic replace the royal statue after the Revolution.  .



Here too, a royal statue occupies the center... 




coincidence.   

But the site's designers looked to the past 
when they addressed the future.
