#europeonbudget 🌟In the vibrant Marais district of Paris, a city known for its winding, medieval streets, the Place des Vosges is a startling and beautiful anomaly. As the oldest planned square in the city, it stands as a testament to King Henry IV's vision for a modern, elegant Paris. This isn't just a park with a few benches; it's a meticulously designed urban space with a rich history, surrounded by symmetrical red brick and stone facades that have housed some of France's most famous figures. While other travel guides might simply label it a "pretty square," they often miss its profound significance as a prototype for all European residential squares and as a quiet haven for those who appreciate history and beauty. 📌Location: Place des Vosges is located in the Marais district, straddling the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris. ✈️Getting There: * Metro: Saint-Paul (Line 1) or Chemin Vert (Line 8). Price Point: * Entrance to the square and garden: Free. * Maison de Victor Hugo: Free. * Shopping and dining: Prices at the surrounding cafes, restaurants, and boutiques can be high, as it is a very exclusive area.

《10-Day France·Paris Free Tour》Quentin's Home Our place of stay is located in the 3rd arrondissement in the center of Paris, France, next to the famous "Place des Vosges". "Place des Vosges" is the oldest square in Paris, built by French King Henry IV in 1605 (a hundred years earlier than Napoleon I know 😳😳😳) and is close to the Bastille subway station. When you see the name of the subway, you will know that the famous Bastille Prison and Bastille Market are nearby, so it is very convenient. The photos show the passages and buildings we pass by every day when we go home. I am very tired every day, but when I go home and see these scenery, all the fatigue of the day disappears. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 The room we stayed in was very cute. It was a small suite in a building. There was a small entrance hall as soon as you entered the room, and then you went into the living room/but it was also a room because the sofa could be pulled out to form a bed (and French sofa beds are so comfortable to sleep on!!! Unlike Taiwanese sofa beds, which are hard or have seams, it doesn’t feel like lying on a sofa at all. It’s completely like a top-notch mattress👍👍👍) Then there was a cute little staircase in the entrance hall, which led to the small room on the second floor, where there was a double bed. The room is small but well-equipped. It has everything you need, including heating (it's very cold in France in winter and you'd be freezing without heating), washing machine, toilet, living room, small kitchen, etc. So we can cook some meals in the kitchen and don't have to eat at restaurants all the time (because it's expensive😆😆😆) Finally, here's a picture of the maple syrup egg roll, which is probably very famous in France (because it's sold in many places) As a result, not long after I returned to Taiwan, Carrefour also started selling it... (it's really sold in many places🤣🤣🤣🤣) #Paris, France #Place des Vosges, France #Bastille Metro Station, France #Quentin's Home

Unlike the high-rise buildings in Beijing and Shanghai, Paris still retains many old buildings that have been around for hundreds of years, and the whole city has a thick sense. One foot of the Parisian standing in a superior modern world
