Paroisse Saint-Paul Saint-Louis (Pass by)

Admission ticket free -
Place des Vosges (Pass by)
Continue to Place des Vosges, the oldest planned square in Paris, completed in 1612. Its symmetrical red-brick façades and arcades once housed nobility, and today it remains one of the most balanced and quietly elegant public spaces in the city.
