The obelisk at the left side of the entrance is still there.

The Place de La Concorde was constructed under the July Monarchy between
1936 and 1846 and an obelisk of Ramses II sent back from Luxor by Napoleon
during his Egyptian campaign was installed there. The Thebes in the
inscription clearly refers to the Egyptian city of Thebes, adjacent to
Luxor. I can't be sure that the Obelisk came from east of Thebes, but it
probably did. That would explain the "au levant de Thebes" as the origin
of the obelisk.
