Fantastic open space to sit in the grass or on a park bench and enjoy a coffee or lunch while enjoying this beautiful square. While heading to the Victor Hugo house museum, my partner and I stopped in the park to enjoy our sandwiches and the beautiful townhouses that line Place des Vosges. Great spot to hang out and enjoy the warmer days of Spring.

This park turns golden in autumn, its trees glowing in warm shades of amber and gold. Simply spellbinding. It’s easy to see why it has inspired so many dreamers, poets, and painters over the centuries.

One of the prettiest and most elegant squares in Paris. Place des Vosges is calm and full of history, with beautiful symmetrical red-brick buildings, charming covered arcades, and a peaceful green garden in the center. A perfect spot to walk, sit, relax, and enjoy the timeless Parisian atmosphere. Had my breakfast in carette and walked all over the place. I found some authentic shops such as leather goods , perfumes and so many Art exhibition. and the Maison Victor Hugo museum Ps. I could live in this square forever. ☺️

Places desVosges was visited on a cold January day, but the atmosphere was very pleasant. People were walking around the park in a relaxed manner, and the overall vibe was calm and positive. A short stop, but a nice experience.

Everybody knows the most famous and oldest square of Paris with the wonderful buildings that surround it. Unfortunately, it is usually rather crowded, so I would suggest that you catch your breath at the wonderful nearby garden of the Hôtel de Sully
