This happened at the Place de la Concorde as it is called today. Before the Revolution, this square was called Place de Louis XV and it had a large statue of Louis XV on it. During the Revolution, this statue was smashed and the French Revolutionaries baptized the square Place de la Revolution. Right in front of the spot where the statue of Louis XV used to be, the guillotine was erected. Today, on the exact spot where that guillotine used to be, there is a memorial statue.
