Square St Jean XXIII

They have this small park/square just behind the church, St-Jean XXIII, that's a nice place to sit.

Place des Victoires

When this circle of mansions was built in 1685, it was for the sole purpose of offsetting the statue of Louis XIV that once stood here. The architect, Jules Hardouin Mansart, designed the proportion of the buildings and even the arrangements of the surrounding streets, all to show the statue to its best advantage. Unfortunately the angry mobs of 1792 tore down the statue in protest. A replacement, of a totally different style, was put up in 1822, to the detriment of the whole system of proportion of the buildings to statue. It's still a very nice roundabout, and has both a Kenzo and a Cacharel store.

Places des Vosges

The statue of Louis the 13th standing the middle of the Place des Vosges(he was the mastermind of the square). I had taken a few pictures of the area, but the sun was very bright so they didn't turn out very well, so I'll take more on another day. Notice the lovely place it's created for the pigeons. They look quite comfortable.
