Hahoe Folk Village is a traditional village from the Joseon Dynasty. The village is a valuable part of Korean culture because it preserves Joseon period-style architecture, folk traditions, valuable books, and
old tradition of clan-based villages.

The village maintains old architectural styles that have been lost because of rapid modernization and development in South Korea. Aristocratic tile-roofed residences and thatched-roof servants' homes
preserve the architectural styles of Joseon Dynasty. Wonjijeongsa Pavilion and Byeongsan Confucian School are two notable structures in the village. The village has preserved the shamanist rite of
Byeolsin-gut and preserved Hahoe masks used in the Hahoe Mask Dance. Another rite still practiced is the Jeulbul Nori which uses strings of fireworks fired at the base of the Buyongdae Cliff. The village
was listed by the South Korea government as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2010, along with Yangdong Folk Village.

The 164 foot Arc de Triomphe construction work
took 30 years and was completed under Louis
Phillippe because Napoleon was defeated and the
power shifted hands. But, in order to honour
Napoleon who happened to be the original initiator,
his body was made to pass under the arch while on
the way to its final resting place.

1793.

The guillotine was most active during the last part

of the "Reign of Terror", in the summer of 1794,
when in a single month more than 1,300 people
were executed. A year later, when the revolution
was taking a more moderate course, the guillotine
was removed from the square.

The center of the Place is occupied by a giant

Egyptian obelisk decorated with hieroglyphics
exalting the reign of the pharaoh Ramesses II. It is
one of two the Egyptian government gave to the
French in the 19th century. The other one stayed in
Egypt, too difficult and heavy to move to France
with the technology at that time. In the 1990s,
President François Mitterrand gave the second
obelisk back to the Egyptians.
