Place des Vosges

May 27th, 2007

Photos of Paris - Spirit of Paris
 

Royal square dedicated to Louis XIII, this place bears the name of the french district, “les Vosges“, who became the first to pay the revolutionary and republican taxes. It’s the oldest square in Paris, early build by HenriIV from 1605 to 1612.

Victor Hugo used to live in Place des Vosges, n° 6.

    Just another “ordinary” place in Paris. It is extraordinary, isn’t it? It seems that one location easily tops another. What a city!

    Ah, there you are! I missed your photos. I love Place des Vosges. It is so much more pleasant than that other large place: hot, dry, unemotional Place Vendome. (Even though the Ritz and Cartier are in Place Vendome.) Place Royale is the other large one I like. Is that what it’s called, behind the Comede Francais? Ah, my memory and French are terrible. I’ll check the map next time. But, I like your photo with it’s angles. It makes me feel like I’m lying down, or sitting against a tree, looking up at the lovely sight of sky, trees, and 17th century.

    I have been a fan of your site for quite some time. Your photographs are absolutely astounding! Each of your photos really evoke the “spirit of Paris”.

    My best place in Paris. Good picnics avec la boite, good place where read a book, good place to reflect after a morning at the university!
    How many memories!
