Vosges, by the way, is pronounced [vohzh] — [zh] is the sound of the S in the word "measure."
These are photos I took in the month of February. The place can get pretty crowded in spring and summer.

The place des Vosges straddles the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris. Combined, the two arrondissements occupy about one square mile of land in the center of the city. The population of that plot of land is approximately 65,000. Obviously, that's a densely populated urban area. The place des Vosges is a vast open space in the middle of concentrated urban density. Paris is, if I'm not mistaken, the most densely populated major city in Europe.

Beautiful buildings on such a monumental scale for when they were built.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLate as usual. There used to be a great (if expensive) restaurant on the Place de Vosges in the arcade to the left hand side of the bottom photograph. Roderick
