3rd day in Paris - 10th April 2007 - Part 3 - Lunch at Bugsy and Champs Elysees

My brother suggested an Irish pub somewhere near Place de La Concorde. That is the Obelisk.
Something that the Egytians gave the French.

The Obelisk of Luxor, stands on top on a pedestal that recounts the special machinery and maneuvers that were used to transport it.
The center of the Place is occupied by a giant Egyptian obelisk decorated with hieroglyphics exalting the reign of the pharaoh Ramses II. It once marked the entrance to the Luxor Temple. The viceroy of Egypt, Mehemet Ali, presented the 3,300-year-old Luxor Obelisk to France in 1829. King Louis-Philippe had it placed in the centre of Place de la Concorde in 1833. Given the technical limitations of the day, transporting it was no easy feat — on the pedestal are drawn diagrams explaining the machinery that were used for the transportation. The red granite column rises 23 metres high, including the base, and weighs over 250 tonnes. Missing its original cap, believed stolen in the 6th century BC, in 1998 the government of France added a gold-leafed pyramid cap to the top of the obelisk. The obelisk is flanked on both sides by fountains constructed at the time of its erection on the Place.
During the French Revolution, a guillotine — a chief agent of the Revolution — stood at the obelisk's current location.
Without warning, in 2000 French urban climber Alain "Spiderman" Robert, using only his bare hands and feet and with no safety devices, scaled the obelisk all the way to the top.
The obelisk is one of three Cleopatra's Needles, the other two residing in New York and London.
