Straight from the imagination of the Sun King Louis XIV, the Place Vendôme is the jewel of Paris and the symbol of absolute monarchy, where the kingdom's fairs and royal weddings take place. At a time when Paris consisted mainly of narrow streets and few open spaces, the Place Vendôme was a place where people could breathe freely. It was not long before some of the world's greatest fortunes moved in, making the Place Vendôme famous the world over.
