Quartier de la Place-Vendôme, Administrative quarter in 1st arrondissement, Paris, France.

The Quartier de la Place-Vendôme spans 26.9 hectares, featuring classical buildings arranged around a central square with the Vendôme Column at its core.

Established in 1790, this quarter emerged from the original Place des Conquêtes, built between 1699 and 1705 under the direction of Jules Hardouin-Mansart.

The district contains numerous luxury jewelry boutiques, prestigious fashion houses, and the Ministry of Justice, reflecting French excellence in various domains.

Metro stations Opéra, Pyramides, and Madeleine provide direct access to the quarter, which maintains a permanent population of approximately 2,700 residents.

The Vendôme Column, constructed using bronze from captured enemy cannons, displays a spiral relief depicting Napoleon's military campaigns in 1805.
