Description
The Place Charles de Gaulle historically known as the Place de l'etoile, is a large road junction in Paris, France, the meeting point of twelve straight avenues
(hence its historic name, which translates as "Square of the Star") including the champs elysees.
It was renamed in 1970 following the death of General and President Charles de Gaulle. It is still often referred to by its original name, and the nearby metro station retains the designation Charles de Gaulle - Etoile.
Paris is the capital and most populous city in France. It is situated on the River Seine, in the north of the country, at the heart of the ile de France region.
Within its administrative limits, and it has 20 quarters, the city has more than two million inhabitants while its metropolitan area is one of the largest population centers in Europe with more than 12 million inhabitants.
