Place des Vosges, Historic square in Le Marais, France
The Place des Vosges consists of 36 symmetrical houses with red brick facades and stone accents surrounding a central garden measuring 140 meters on each side.
King Henry IV initiated the construction of this square in 1605, completing it in 1612 as the first planned square in Paris under the name Place Royale.
The former residence of Victor Hugo at number 6 has been transformed into a museum that displays manuscripts, paintings, and personal belongings of the writer.
The square maintains regular opening hours from sunrise to sunset, with direct access from the Saint-Paul and Chemin Vert metro stations.
Every house in the square features identical architectural elements, including vaulted arcades at ground level and steep slate roofs with dormers.
