In theory, all roads lead to a plaza of some sort eventually. A point in the neighborhood where you can kick back with the rest of the town\u2019s visitors and enjoy a glass of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-french-wine\/\">wine<\/a> or midday snack. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Being the majestic land that it is, of course the plazas around Â鶹APP are naturally a sight for sore eyes. Many of the public squares contain very aesthetically pleasing landmarks or monuments for patrons to enjoy as they waste a few hours in the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15086\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15086\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fuente_sur_de_la_plaza_de_la_concordia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fuente_sur_de_la_plaza_de_la_concordia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fuente_sur_de_la_plaza_de_la_concordia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fuente_sur_de_la_plaza_de_la_concordia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15086\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fountain at Place de la Concorde &#8211; by Demiannnn &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Fuente_sur_de_la_Plaza_de_la_Concordia.JPG\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Some of the Â鶹APPian plazas are more exciting than others; boasting a better variety of entertainment or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/insiders-guide-to-vintage-shopping-in-paris\/\">shopping<\/a> opportunity. Others are more simple and may only provide bench space or grass patches from which the square can be enjoyed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Regardless, it\u2019s always nice to aimlessly wander the streets of Â鶹APP knowing that a new plaza is bound to pop up at any minute. Many on this list were found be me in this exact manner \u2014 a very pleasant surprise to an already enjoyable stroll. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Here are the top ten plazas in Â鶹APP and where to find them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">1. Place des Vosges in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Le Marais district itself is naturally a visual wonder, so it makes sense that the neighborhood\u2019s plaza be equally as lovely. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Place des Vosges is often referred to as one of the most beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/a-visit-to-bercy-village\/\">public<\/a> squares in all of Europe. It can be found right where the 3rd and 4th arrondissements come together in Le Marais. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Place des Vosges used to be known as the Royal Square of Le Marais. Unlike other plazas around Â鶹APP, this one actually is shaped like a physical square made mostly from grass. The space is bordered by the old buildings of the district including the Victor Hugo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/5-reasons-to-visit-le-musee-de-larmee-in-paris\/\">Museum<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15087\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15087\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15087\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_des_vosges_general.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_des_vosges_general.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_des_vosges_general-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15087\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place des Vosges &#8211; by Bris\u00e9is~commonswiki &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Place_des_Vosges,_g\u00e9n\u00e9ral.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Because of the squares vast grass land, a typical day in the Place des Vosges involves hoards of people who have taken a break from their exploring of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/hidden-gems-in-le-marais\/\">Le Marais<\/a> to lay on the grass or enjoy a takeaway baguette amongst friends. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The square is bordered with tress so there is some shaded area available for the warmer months. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">2. Place Vend\u00f4me in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there is one place you want to be during golden hour in Â鶹APP, its the Place Vend\u00f4me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is my personal favorite plaza in the city. It is located just above the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/luxembourg-vs-tuileries-which-garden-to-choose\/\">Tuileries<\/a> Gardens in the 1st arrondissement.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15088\" style=\"width: 1928px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15088\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1920px-place_vendome_paris_20_april_2011.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1918\" height=\"656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1920px-place_vendome_paris_20_april_2011.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1920px-place_vendome_paris_20_april_2011-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1920px-place_vendome_paris_20_april_2011-768x263.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1920px-place_vendome_paris_20_april_2011-1024x350.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1920px-place_vendome_paris_20_april_2011-816x279.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1918px) 100vw, 1918px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place Vend\u00f4me &#8211; by Giorgio Galeotti &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Place_Vendome,_Â鶹APP_20_April_2011.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the centre stands the column for Napoleon. The rest of the square is bordered by beautiful neoclassical French architecture. In the afternoons, just before the sun goes down, the plaza is electric with light and soft hues that bounce between the adjacent walls. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Its a great place for a photo op, or just to bask in the beauty of the space for a few moments. The square is paved and not made of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/why-you-need-to-visit-paris-botanical-garden\/\">grass<\/a> so it is more of a \u201cwalk through\u201d kind of plaza rather than a laze around one. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">An interesting fact is that this plaza was originally built by King Louis XIV who wanted the afore mentioned Place des Vosges to lose its title as the most beautiful public square in Europe. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Place Dauphine in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Also in the 1st arrondissement, on the west end of \u00cele de la Cit\u00e9, is the Place Dauphine. It was built way back in 1607 in a public square project initiated by Henry IV. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s not entirely accurate to call this particular plaza a square, as it is actually triangular shaped. The space doesn\u2019t boast any grass but it lined with many chestnut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/why-you-need-to-visit-paris-botanical-garden\/\">trees<\/a> and benches that offer a welcome break from sightseeing around the 1st.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15089\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15089\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15089\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-place_dauphine_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-place_dauphine_3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-place_dauphine_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-place_dauphine_3-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15089\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place Dauphine &#8211; by Alexander Johmann &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Place_Dauphine_3.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The plaza is also lined with cafes and galleries that overlook the central triangle. If the Place des Vosges and Place Vend\u00f4me are the most beautiful, then Place Dauphine is the most romantic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After a busy day of exploring museums like the Louvre in the 1st, Place Dauphine is the spot to stop by for a glass of wine and snack. If you\u2019re on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/paris-walking-tours\/\"><span class=\"s3\">free guided walking tour<\/span><\/a>, request that the guide bring you through this plaza at some point. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">4. Place de la Concorde in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Place de la Concorde is the largest known square in Â鶹APP and holds an important spot in French history. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-the-french-revolution\/\">Revolution<\/a>, this square was used to publicly behead over 1000 people by guillotine. During this time it was known as the Place de la R\u00e9volution, it was only renamed Place de la Concorde later in 1830.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15090\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15090\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fontaines_de_la_concorde_fontaine_des_fleuves.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fontaines_de_la_concorde_fontaine_des_fleuves.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fontaines_de_la_concorde_fontaine_des_fleuves-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fontaines_de_la_concorde_fontaine_des_fleuves-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15090\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place de la Concorde &#8211; by Moonik &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Fontaines_de_la_Concorde_(Fontaine_des_Fleuves).jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you can, visit the Place de la Concorde by night. Because the plaza is so closely attached to the grounds of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/what-not-to-miss-around-arc-of-triumph\/\">Arc de Triomphe<\/a> it can get chaotic with tourists during the peak of the day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The space is exquisite by night. The Luxor Obelisk that stands in the middle of the square is 3500 years old and officially the oldest standing monument in all of Â鶹APP. You\u2019ll want to get close to admire the intricate engravings and workmanship that went into the bronze structure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Tuileries <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/why-you-need-to-visit-paris-botanical-garden\/\">Gardens<\/a> are nearby to the Place de la Concorde (walking distance) and are another unmissable sight if you are in the area!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s4\">5. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Place \u00c9mile Goudeau in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Emile Goudeau was a 19th century <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-french-writers\/\">writer<\/a> and poet who was native to France. This plaza was given this name because years ago, in the same area, the literary club that Goudeau founded burnt to the ground in a tragic event. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Like most locations in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/hidden-gems-in-montmartre\/\">Montmartre<\/a>, the plaza is whimsical and artistic. The space is covered by tree life and within close proximity to surrounding cafes, bookshops and independent galleries.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15091\" style=\"width: 793px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15091\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/783px-p1040849_paris_xviii_place_emile_goudeau_rue_ravignan_rwk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"783\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/783px-p1040849_paris_xviii_place_emile_goudeau_rue_ravignan_rwk.jpg 783w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/783px-p1040849_paris_xviii_place_emile_goudeau_rue_ravignan_rwk-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/783px-p1040849_paris_xviii_place_emile_goudeau_rue_ravignan_rwk-768x588.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place \u00c9mile Goudeau &#8211; by mbtz &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:P1040849_Â鶹APP_XVIII_place_Emile_Goudeau_rue_Ravignan_rwk.JPG\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This plaza has a more private feel to it, and is almost hidden in a wedge between the adjacent buildings on Rue Ravignan. This keeps the space somewhat free of the more predictable tourist activities and the square is frequented by Montmartre locals as much as it is visitors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The plaza is also home to the entrance to the well known rooftop restaurant called <\/span><span class=\"s5\">Le Relais de la Butte<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. Here you\u2019ll dine with an incredible view of the Â鶹APPian rooftops feeling like you\u2019ve been transported back to the early 1900s. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you can, make a reservation for dinner around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/the-top-10-instagrammable-spots-in-paris\/\">sunset<\/a> time! Beautiful! <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">6. Place Saint-Sulpice in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As if we needed another reason to pay visit to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-things-to-see-in-the-latin-quarter\/\">Latin Quarter<\/a> in Â鶹APP. Place Saint-Sulpice is the main square in the 6th arrondissement and is also the grounds for the church of Saint-Sulpice as well as the town hall of the Latin Quarter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This plaza is best visited in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-during-spring-in-paris\/\">spring<\/a>, if possible. At this time the chestnut tress blossom wild pink flowers around the space. Next to the classic architecture of the church and monumental Fontaine Saint-Sulpice, it\u2019s absolutely magic.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15092\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15092\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15092\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/p1210651_paris_vi_place_saint-sulpice_rwk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/p1210651_paris_vi_place_saint-sulpice_rwk.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/p1210651_paris_vi_place_saint-sulpice_rwk-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/p1210651_paris_vi_place_saint-sulpice_rwk-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place Saint-Sulpice &#8211; by Mbtz &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:P1210651_Â鶹APP_VI_place_Saint-Sulpice_rwk.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If nature is the call of the day then you might want to walk over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/what-to-do-in-luxembourg-gardens-in-paris\/\">Luxembourg<\/a> Gardens after visiting this plaza \u2014 another not to be missed outdoor wonder of Â鶹APP. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are a few cafes surrounding the Place Saint-Sulpice that are a good stopping point for a coffee or cocktail depending on the mood. Flip a coin into the fountain for good luck!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">7. Place de l\u2019H\u00f4tel de Ville in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Place de l&#8217;H\u00f4tel de Ville is the public square that is just outside the city hall of Â鶹APP in the 4th arrondissement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While there is not much to do in the square itself, or anywhere to sit for that matter, a walk through the space is still very worthwhile. Â鶹APP City Hall itself is an astounding building to behold. It is a typical <\/span><span class=\"s5\">Renaissance style building that was rebuilt in 1873.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15093\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15093\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/volleyball_place_de_lhotel-de-ville_paris_2014_002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/volleyball_place_de_lhotel-de-ville_paris_2014_002.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/volleyball_place_de_lhotel-de-ville_paris_2014_002-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/volleyball_place_de_lhotel-de-ville_paris_2014_002-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Volleyball at Place de l\u2019H\u00f4tel de Ville &#8211; by fotologic &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Volleyball,_Place_de_l%27H\u00f4tel-de-Ville,_Â鶹APP_2014_002.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">Back in the day the plaza was one of the main sights for public executions. These days you\u2019ll experience quite the opposite, as the <\/span><span class=\"s6\">Place de l&#8217;H\u00f4tel de Ville makes use of the square for public events and entertainment as often as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The square is best known for its festivities around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-in-paris-on-christmas-day\/\">Christmas<\/a> time. Hoards of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-for-christmas-in-paris\/\">Christmas<\/a> tress are set up in the space in conjunction with elaborate lighting. The ambiance of the plaza becomes simply magical to say the least. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There is also a giant ice skating rink during the winter months for the public to enjoy. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">8. Place de Furstenberg in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In solid competition for the most romantic plaza in Â鶹APP is the Place de Furstenberg located in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/3-favorite-places-to-stay-in-saint-germain-des-pres\/\">Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s<\/a> quarter. The square was named after the original Prince of Furstenberg. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The plaza is well known as being where famous artist Eug\u00e8ne Delacroix lived in his apartment for most of his life. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/an-enlightening-visit-to-paris-science-museum\/\">museum<\/a> in his name is now found on site in the square.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15094\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15094\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_de_furstenberg_paris_24_january_2016.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_de_furstenberg_paris_24_january_2016.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_de_furstenberg_paris_24_january_2016-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place de Furstenberg &#8211; by Guilhem Vellut &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Place_de_Furstenberg,_Â鶹APP_24_January_2016.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019ll admit, I struggle to classify this particular square as a plaza at all. It\u2019s absolutely tiny. It is technically just a roundabout that was built into the narrow street of <\/span><span class=\"s5\">Rue de Furstemberg to create some extra space. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s1\">The \u201csquare\u201d draws much of its romance from the four trees and typical Â鶹APPian lampposts that inhabit the space. Nevertheless, if you ever find yourself in the <\/span><span class=\"s6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/why-is-the-church-of-saint-germain-des-pres-so-special\/\">Saint-Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s<\/a> area for a romantic dinner then this is the stroll to succeed it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pickup some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-ice-cream-places-in-paris\/\">ice cream<\/a> from <em>Grom Gelato<\/em> along the way!

It is famously known as being one of the most difficult roundabout for motorists to navigate on the bustling streets of Â鶹APP. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">The plaza itself is a circular structure from which twelve avenues jut out into the surrounding Â鶹APP neighborhoods. The space is 120m in diameter \u2014 not the kind of plaza you head to for a light stroll under the tress.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15095\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15095\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15095\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_charles_de_gaulle_from_air.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_charles_de_gaulle_from_air.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_charles_de_gaulle_from_air-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/place_charles_de_gaulle_from_air-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place de l\u2019\u00c9toile &#8211; by Mvysl &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Place_Charles_de_Gaulle_from_air.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">It is thought that one can access any part of Â鶹APP but simply picking the right avenue from which to venture out of the plaza.

How about catching some theatre over in the 10th? Place<\/span><span class=\"s5\"> de l\u2019<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00c9toile can get you there one way or another. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p10\"><span class=\"s1\">Historically this plaza is also known as Place Charles de Gaulle, and is still often referred to by this name today. Don\u2019t get confused if both happen to come up in conversation. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">10. Place Andr\u00e9-Malraux in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We end off with one of the busiest plazas in all of Â鶹APP, Place Andr\u00e9-Malraux. Its very central location near the Â鶹APP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-near-the-opera-house\/\">Opera<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris-best-exhibitions-of-2019\/\">Louvre<\/a> museum make it the perfect point of gathering for the neighborhood\u2019s visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">From the central fountain you\u2019ll be able to see the <em>Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise<\/em>. This is the oldest active theatre on the planet and a true privilege to be in the presence of. If you have the opportunity to catch a show here I hightail recommend you do so. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Just next door to the Place Andr\u00e9-Malraux are the Palais-Royal gardens. Here you\u2019ll find a variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/the-6-best-restaurants-in-versailles-in-2019\/\">restaurants<\/a> and cafes for lunch or dinner near the square.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Place Andr\u00e9-Malraux is most beautiful in the spring and summer seasons, when the tress of the square are in full bloom. However I will say that I once passed through here accidentally during a rare occasion of light snowfall in the district \u2014 the sight of the white dust on the baron treetops was breathtaking.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15096\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15096\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fountain_by_gabriel_davioud_place_andre-malraux_paris.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fountain_by_gabriel_davioud_place_andre-malraux_paris.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fountain_by_gabriel_davioud_place_andre-malraux_paris-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/800px-fountain_by_gabriel_davioud_place_andre-malraux_paris-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15096\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Place Andr\u00e9-Malraux &#8211; by Steve Cadman &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Fountain_by_Gabriel_Davioud,_Place_Andre-Malraux,_Â鶹APP.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While this list of top ten plazas in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/5-iconic-grave-sites-you-need-to-visit-in-paris\/\">Â鶹APP<\/a> includes but a handful of the total amount of plazas in existence in Â鶹APP, you can rest assured that these are undoubtably some of the most beautiful. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As you roam the city, more of these beautiful squares will make themselves known to you.
