Place Vendôme
The grandiose Place Vendôme perfectly illustrates the classic architecture such as it existed under Louis XIV and Louis XV. Octagonal in shape, the designs were drawn up by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, the architect of the Château de Versailles.
Initially at its centre it had a statue of King Louis XIV which was beheaded during the Revolution and some years later (in 1804) was replaced by a Roman-inspired column, with a statue of Napoleon erected on its summit.
This magnificent square remains, even today, a symbol of grandeur which is home to many luxury jewellery shops and grand hotels.
