Square Vendôme Paris : Paris Tourism

Description

Place Vendôme
75001 Paris

The 43.50-metre-high column Vendome is located at the North of the Jardin des Tuileries. Both the column and the place Vendome have a rich history, and it is here that one can find the finest luxury hotels, shops, and jewellers.

This square, historical witness, wore many royal statues. At the beginning the centre of it was occupied by a statue of Louis XIV dressed as a roman emperor.
Named square Louis Le Grand, then square des Piques under the Revolution, it now holds the name of the mansion of Vendôme, destroyed in 1687.

The square of the 18th Century was completed with luxury hotels equipped with columns, and arches. Vendôme became more luxurious than the Place des Vosges or the Marais and was occupied by accomplished men working in finance.

Napoleon ordered a column in memory of his soldiers of Austerlitz. It was put in the place of the statue representing the king, and a statue depicting Napoleon dressed in roman Emperor was installed over the column. But it could not resist the changings of governments forms, and this statue was replaced by one of King Henry IV, and later by a lis flower under the reign of King Louis-Philippe.
However, the statue of Napoleon was later reinstalled in the square.

Since 1992, the pedestrian space is delimited by grey granite paving stones.
