Vendôme Square is one of the five "royal squares" of Paris, located in the city's historic center, north of the Tuileries Gardens and east of the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene. It was constructed during the reign of Louis XIV and was intended to house an equestrian statue of the Sun King, the mint, the Academy, a library, and luxurious mansions. The square was named after the Vendôme Palace, once owned by César de Bourbon, the illegitimate son of French King Henry IV the Great and the progenitor of the Vendômes. Vendôme Square is a symmetrically designed octagon, enclosed within a harmoniously designed ensemble of exquisite buildings in the neoclassical style.
At the heart of the square once stood the Vendôme Column, an iconic monument erected by Napoleon I to honor the Battle of Austerlitz. However, on 16 May 1871, the Paris Commune ordered its demolition. Nonetheless, the column was later restored to its former glory and remains a prominent and cherished feature of the square to this day.

The Vendôme Column, built under Napoleon's direction, commemorated his victory at Austerlitz. During the Paris Commune in 1871, the column was dismantled, but later restored with the original Napoleon statue. Today, the column stands in Place Vendôme, a symbol of France's complex history.
