It is also the largest pedestrian square in Europe: vehicles are allowed in Places de la Concorde and des Quinconces.In the middle is an equestrian statue of king Louis XIV by François-Frédéric Lemot (1825). Another statue, representing the Petit Prince and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is at the west end of the square.
