Answer 1

That's right.  The executions were performed at the Place de la Concorde, known then as Place de la Revolution.  Just a few blocks away from the US Embassy ( I mean the building where the Embassy is located now)

Answer 2

The Execution of Louis XVI, 1793.

The carriage proceeded thus in silence to the Place de Louis XV, and stopped in the middle of a large space that had been left round the scaffold: this space was surrounded with cannon, and beyond, an armed multitude extended as far as the eye could reach. As soon as the King perceived that the carriage stopped, he turned and whispered to me, 'We are arrived, if I mistake not.' My silence answered that we were.

Place de Louis XV became the Place de la Révolution and held in its center the guillotine that executed in particular Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, Danton, Robespierre, and 2800 others between 1793 and 1795.

It is said that the smell of blood was so strong that a herd of cattle refused to cross the place.

After the Revolution it suffered a series of transformations et several changes of name: place de la Concorde, place Louis XV again, place Louis XVI, place de la Chartre, and once again place de la Concorde to symbolize the end of a troubled era and the hope of a better future.
