Traveler reviews
Jamie Wojciechowski
★★★★★3 months agoFantastic open space to sit in the grass or on a park bench and enjoy a coffee or lunch while enjoying this beautiful square. While heading to the Victor Hugo house museum, my partner and I stopped in the park to enjoy our sandwiches and the beautiful townhouses that line Place des Vosges. Great spot to hang out and enjoy the warmer days of Spring.

★★★★★2 months agoWow, and the word I've started this review with, can not sum the impact of this green, calm place on me. I was amazed how it was planned and how many trees can bring so much joy to me in particular, and otger people that come to be there or move via Place des Vosges to their next destination. Also the similar pattern of the buildings around the place is remarkable. Its a wonderful place for inhabitants as well as tourists. And I'm gladly share my point of view, visually as well.
