Place Vendôme, Paris Overview
Place Vendômeis one of the most famous and charming neoclassical squares in Paris. This square is situated to the east of the Église de la Madeleine and north of the Tuileries Gardens in the 1st arrondissement of the city.
The square features renowned elite stores, including Chanel, Dior, & Cartier, and some exclusive jewelry stores. Also, many popular dress designers have had their salons in this area. Being surrounded by sober buildings, Place Vendôme is the first step of the Rue de la Paix. Notably, this square is named after the former Hôtel de Vendôme located here. It is renowned for its modish and deluxe hotels, including the Ritz.
Formerly, a statue of Louis XIV was there in the center of this square. During the French Revolution, Napoleon destroyed that statue. Afterward, a massive column (the Vendôme today) was placed in the middle of the square, at the site where the statue of Louis XIV was installed previously.
