The de la Concorde station name refers to De la Concorde Boulevard, so named by the administration of the former municipality of Pont-Viau, today a sector of Laval, on June 21, 1956. The initial section of De la Concorde Boulevard is located in a area where proper street names were inspired by place names in France, such as Normandie, Louvre and Nantes. The name De la Concorde refers to Place de la Concorde, one of the largest public squares in Paris. Tucked between the Tuileries Gardens and the Champs-Élys�es, the former Place Louis XV was initially designed by the architect Jacques-Ange Gabriel in 1755 and completed in 1775. At the time, the square was dominated by an equestrian statue of Louis XV, which was later destroyed in August 1792, during the French Revolution. From 1833 to 1846, the architect Hittorf is commissioned to redesign it, and he oversaw the creation of two fountains, eight statues representing the great cities of France and the Obelisk of Luxor. During the first years of its existence, the square bore several names: Place Louis XV (1755-1792,1814-1826), Place de la R�volution (1792-1795), Place de la Concorde (1795-1814) and Place Louis XVI (1826-1830), before permanently becoming Place de la Concorde in 1830. That name was in reference to the reconciliation of French citizens after the excesses of the Reign of Terror, a period of French history between 1792 and 1795 that was marked by numerous conflicts following the Revolution.
