History
Place Vendôme is
undoubtedly one of the most beautiful architectural sites in Paris. It was built
on the initiative
of Louvois, chief steward of buildings under Louis XIV. Construction began in
1686 under the management of JH Mansart and Boffrand.
The square has an
octagonal shape, open at the centre of its south and north sides. It was first
called "Place des Conquêtes", then "Louis le Grand", from
1699 to the Revolution. From 1793 to 1799 it was known as the place "Des
Piques". It finally became Place Vendôme, named after an ancient
residence, except for 1871, when the Commune (Paris revolutionary government)
named it "Place Internationale".
At the dawn of the
third millennium, this square has not lost its attraction and prestige, housing
the most famous names in jewellery. The Colonne Vendôme replaced the ancient
equestrian statue of Louis XIV in 1806 (which dated from 1699). Napoleon had a
43-meter column built on an original white marble 10-meter pedestal, a pure
imitation of the Trajane column in Rome, to honour the soldiers who won the
battle of Austerlitz.
The Hotel de Vendôme
was built in 1723 for Pierre Perrin, who was secretary to King louis XIV. From
1736, it changed several hands, from being the headquarters of the crown
property department, to becoming the Embassy of the Republic of Texas from 1842
to 1843.
In 1858, the tone
was set for the building, when it was converted into a Hôtel.
Encounter
with History and Prestige.
Just like
Versailles, place Vendôme bears witness to one of French history's most
glorious periods: the reign of Louis XIV. The building at no. 1 gives the square
its name, because it is the site of the ancient Vendôme family's residence.
Three centuries of art, culture, and elegance make this a unique address in
Paris. Hotel de Vendôme is a unique
jewel, an image of the precious stones which surround it. The harmony of its
shades, lights, marbles, and flowers provide the style of a beautiful residence.
Today, Hôtel de
Vendôme represents the distinguished elegance of Parisian deluxe hotels,
shining over Paris' most brilliant neighbourhood, with haute couture, antique
dealers, art galleries, the Opera, and the Louvre Museum.
