Wandering through the tiny streets of La Marais, we encountered this marvelous bit of history, it’s plaza a brief respite from the long walk.
Henry IV developed this marshy land on the right bank opposite the lle Saint Louis. In 1612, it was officially inaugurated for the wedding of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria.
Covered by a steep roof pierced by dormer windows, the center of the southern facade stood the King’s House facing and the Queen’s on the northern side.
A number of other popular faces lived on Place des Vosges, notably Richelieu and Victor Hugo.
