The Place Vendôme of Paris, part II !!!

Posted in Europe, France, Paris

Now this is classic Paris, one of the reason many come to my eternal Paris. I happenned to be lucky to worked steps from it and walked thru it every day for several years working in Paris! It is a sublime square to be in just to say you were there and maybe can afford some shopping ! This is the Place Vendôme of Paris, part II !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

So we are coming into more chic ,cache places in my eternal Paris as you should know, this is a very famous square, and the world goes by it but seldom you see the immense number of faboulous mansions around it. I know but can’t show you that most of the part covering the side of the Jardin des Tuileries is own by the Sultan of Brunei! Of last record, This is ultra chic and the inside of some of these buildings are just too gorgeous. Place Vendôme is accessed by the Rue de Castiglione (my work street!!) from therue de Rivoli and the Jardin des Tuileries and by the Rue de la Paix from the Place de la Opéra. Gorgeous you need walk this area! The Place Vendôme is located in the 1éme arrondissement of Paris, and at the north side of the Jardin des Tuileries (see posts), south of the Opéra Garnier (see post) and east of the Madeleine Church (see post). It is one of the most famous places in Paris and considered one of the most luxurious in the world. It was called Place Vendôme from the 17C from the Hôtel de Vendôme, which was located there.

Some of the notable buildings here are at No. 1: Hotel Bataille des Francès; No. 3: Hôtel de Coëtlogon, No. 5: Hôtel Orsigny, No. 7: Hotel Lebas de Montargis, No. 9: Hôtel de Villemaré, No. 11: Hôtel de Simiane, No. 13: Hotel de Bourvallais, (Minister of Justice) No. 15: Hotel de Gramont; No. 17: Hotel de Crozat; No. 19: Hotel of Evreux; No. 21: Hotel de Fontpertuis; No. 23: Hotel de Boullongne; No. 25: Hôtel Jacques V Gabriel No 2: Hotel Marquet de Bourgade; No. 4: Hotel Heuzé de Vologer, No. 6: Hotel Thibert des Martrais, No. 8: Hotel Delpeche de Chamot, No. 10: Hôtel de Latour-Maubourg, No. 12: Hotel Baudard de Saint-James, No. 14: Hotel de La Fare, No. 16: Hotel Mouffle, No. 18: Hotel Duchy of Tournelles, No. : Hôtel de Parabère, No. 22: Hôtel de Ségur, No. 24: Hotel de Boffrand, No. 26: Hôtel de Nocé, and No. 28: Hotel Gaillard de la Bouëxière.

One group that I need to tell even if cannot be visited itself, is the group of merchants of the Place Vendôme that look after its maintenance as a center of luxury and excellence in Paris, the Comité Vendôme!  The Vendôme committee has 107 members of last record, such as Chopard, Thatcht, Dior, Chanel, Buccellati, Goyard, Bouchern, Guerlain, Breguet, Christofe, Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany & Co, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Luis Vuitton, de Grisogono, Patel Philippe, Piaget, Schiaparelli, Van Cleef & Arpels, the Meurice and the Ritz Paris hotels… All governed by a common value, Excellence.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
