Place des Vosges

This beautiful little park will take you back to old Paris in the 17th century. The square was built by Henry IV. It is considered the oldest public square in Paris, which contains a meticulously manicured central garden. Its orange buildings are quite idyllic, and are known to have been the popular homes of French politicians such as Dominique Strauss-Kahn. A century ago, it was also the home of Victor Hugo. It is a wonderful place, of great aesthetic and historical value.
