(Last Update: 02.03.2024) Located in the heart of Paris Vendôme Square – Place Vendôme (plas vandom), located in the center of Rue de la Paix, with buildings built in typical French architecture surrounding it in a rectangular format, right in the middle of it.Colonne Vendôme” and of course, it is one of the most important and magnificent squares of Paris today, as it was in the past, with its boutiques containing the most important brands of luxury consumption.
Previously “Place des ConquêtesThis square, known as ", has been called Vendome Square - Place Vendôme since the 17th century and takes its name from the Hôtel de Vendôme, which was once located in this square. Although there was a period, during the second Paris Commune (1871)Place InternationalAlthough its name was changed to ”, it did not last long.
“Colonne Vendôme – Vendôme Column” in the middle of Vendome Square 44,3 meters high A majestic monument covered in bronze. Inspired by the "Trajan Column" in Italy This column, erected in 1819 to commemorate Napoleon's victory at the Battle of AusterlitzAlthough it was destroyed during the second Paris Commune, it was later rebuilt.
While looking at the showcases in Vendome Square, where many luxury brand boutiques are located today, you are first amazed by the prices, and after wandering around for a while, watches worth 10.000 euros catch your eye. cheap It's starting to show up because the numbers are seriously mind blowing. Last time, while wandering around here with a friend, we saw the watch whose photo you see above for 85.000 euros. We couldn't believe our eyes, so we turned back halfway and looked at the price again. Still, it is impossible not to be impressed by the magnificence of the jewels in the showcases. One wants to bow respectfully to modest ladies who are content with a single stone diamond :) Of course, all jokes aside, while what you see amazes you, you also see with your own eyes the extent of the injustice in income distribution in the world...
Since Place Vendôme, where brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Dior remain "middle class", is a place where luxury and ostentation are experienced with French aesthetics, this injustice in income distribution is accommodated to people "gracefully" and life flows normally as if there was no poverty.

Opera Garnierin the southwest of Madeleine Churchin the southeast of, Concorde Squarein the north of Tuileries Gardenin the north of Louvre MuseumVendome Square - Place Vendôme, located in the northwest of , is within walking distance of all of the places I have mentioned. The most enjoyable walking track Tuileries Garden – Jardin des Tuileries coming from the direction Because the store on this road is arranged as galleries with columns on both sides, hotel and the sidewalks where the restaurants are located are really worth seeing.
While walking here, one wonders whether to look at the mosaic decorations on the pavements or the shop windows. Beautiful hat shops, glove shops, patisseries and boutiques are waiting for you in rows, and as you proceed in this way, you reach this magnificent square. If you continue your path straight after taking a tour of the shops around Vendome Square, you will come to the lights.
If you walk left from here, you will see the famous concert hall. Olympiato, therefore Madeleine ChurchIf you turn right, you will find the most beautiful passages of Paris (Choiseul Passage, Galerie Colbert ve Galerie Vivienne) Rue des Petits Champs is waiting for you from the corner of the Starbucks you will see on the corner ahead.
But if you continue on your way straight without turning left or right at the same lights, this time you will turn left at the end of the street. Opera Garnier It appears before you in all its glory. After that, you can continue in any direction you wish. I'm more Grands Boulevards I recommend you continue towards the side. on the road Starbucks CapucinesPlease don't forget to take a look at 😉

to Vendome Square metro If you want to come by, it is enough to get off at one of the stations as it is close to all the areas I mentioned above due to its location, but if you ask which is the closest one? M3, M7 or M8 “Opéra” of metro lines; M1 I recommend you get off at the "Tuileries" stations of the line and walk here. As I said TuileriesIt is much more enjoyable to get off at and enter this square from the south.
Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries.
