Place Charles de Gaulle The Place de l'Étoile is a large road junction in Paris, France, the meeting point of twelve straight avenues (hence the name "Star Square") including the Champs-Élysées which continues to the east. It was renamed Place Charles de Gaulle in 1970 (50 years ago) in honor of President de Gaulle, but is still only referred to by its original name. The place lies in the middle of the Axe historique and at its centre stands the Arc de Triomphe. Place de l'Étoile and the avenues leading to it were extensively redesigned as part of Baron Haussmann's urban planning projects.
