The Place des Vosges is the oldest square in Paris. The perfect symmetry of the square, complete with a landscaped plaza, is one of the first examples of urban planning from Henry IV. The square's most notable resident was Victor Hugo, who lived on the second floor in house Nr. 6 from 1832 to 1848. Hugo wrote most of Les Miserables here. The city turned the house into a museum celebrating the life and works of the author. The Place des Vosges is located in one of the more historic sections of Paris. In the middle of the plaza is a garden with four fountains and a statue of Louis XIII, dating back to 1825. The photo was taken on July 27, 2007.
