Place des Vosges is one of the most beautiful squares in Le Marais or even Paris which is funny if you think about it. If someone described it as a “small park completely walled in by four walls of houses that look exactly the same as one another,” you may not really want to go there!
Obviously, you could describe it much better than that. They aren’t just “houses that look exactly the same as one another,” they are some of the most beautiful buildings in all of Paris. If you happened into this square without knowing what it is you would most definitely know you were somewhere special.
