Just like Versailles, place Vendôme bears witness to one of French history's most glorious periods: the reign of Louis XIV. Built in 1832 by Pierre Perrin, the secretary of Louis XIV.
The building was in turn used as a private residence, administrative headquarters, and became the Texas embassy in 1842, a time when France was the only country which acknowledged its independence.
The building at no. 1 gives the square its name, because it is the site of the ancient Vendôme family's residence.
Three centuries of art, culture, and elegance make this a unique address in Paris.
In 1998, the Hotel de Vendome reopened its doors after 4 years of transformation to bring back its former grandeur.
Decorated in a stunning classical French design with gold engraved sculpting and marble inlay flooring, a reception desk made of rare wood, frescoes and fine art objects dive to the Hotel de Vendôme all the luxury and the beauty of a Palace without being intimidating – Full of charm and history.
