Place Vendôme

The Place Vendôme features uniform facades surrounding an octagonal layout with the Napoleon Column rising from its center at 44 meters high.

The square, constructed in 1699, originally displayed an equestrian statue of Louis XIV that was later destroyed during the French Revolution in 1792.

The square became a center for high fashion and luxury, with prestigious jewelry stores and the Ritz Hotel establishing their presence in the buildings.

Visitors can reach Place Vendôme via metro lines 3, 7, and 8 at Opéra station or line 1 at Tuileries station.

The facades of all buildings were constructed before their interiors to ensure perfect architectural harmony across the 213-meter-long square.
