The oldest planned square in Paris and one of the finest in the city. It is located in the Marais district.
Of an architectural unity and a perfect prescription, this pure marvel built under Henri IV is surrounded with 36 detached houses in two floors. Blue roofs, white stones and red bricks step over arches sheltering art galleries, terraces and, over the weekend, over musicians or over classic singers. In n°6, you can visit the house where Victor Hugo lived between 1832 and 1848

The attractive Jardin du Palais Royal spreads over five hectares.
A series of flowerbeds, shady alleys and lawns were landscaped around a central fountain.
The elegant buildings and covered arcades, built by the Duke Louis-Philippe d’Orléans, still frame the gardens.
