Pl. des Vosges, 75004 Paris, France
Wonderful place. A huge square is surrounded by buildings which where apartments for the well to do. There are now collections of high class shops and cafes. In one corner there is the apartment that Victor Hugo lived in. It is now a museum and can be visited for free. A beautiful public space to enjoy.
Visiting Place des Vosges was an absolute delight! It’s one of the most beautiful squares in Paris, with its perfectly symmetrical architecture, charming arcades, and a peaceful atmosphere. Whether you’re strolling through the gardens, admiring the red-brick facades, or relaxing on a bench, the square feels like a hidden oasis in the heart of the city. A highlight of my visit was exploring Victor Hugo’s apartment, located in one of the elegant buildings surrounding the square. As a fan of Hugo’s work, stepping into his former home was an incredible experience. The apartment is beautifully preserved, with period furnishings, personal artifacts, and a glimpse into the life of the legendary writer. It’s fascinating to see where he lived and worked, and it adds so much depth to his literary legacy. If you’re in Paris, Place des Vosges is a must-see, whether for a relaxing break or a deeper dive into history at Victor Hugo’s home. The combination of history, beauty, and culture makes it an unforgettable experience!

Such a beautiful place in the Marais. It’s so peaceful and calming, even though there are big amounts of tourists. The nice houses around the square really round it off well. It’s nice to sit here and relax while watching the water fountain and enjoying the sun. There is a public water dispenser where you can have a drink and lots of benches around the place
It is a small, quiet a nice place to share with friends, family, or just by you own and read a book! Please relax and lay down on the grass and enjoy it. There is also a sandbox, so kitties could play as well! There is a bathroom inside the park, makes things easy. Around the park are souvenir shops, and cafes!
