Place Vendôme
Opéra / Champs-Élysées, Paris
A Preview
"Place Vendôme. An octagon of gray-gold palaces, the Ritz on one side, jewelers everywhere else. In the middle, a giant bronze column with a little Napoleon on top, dressed as a Roman emperor. The square is so quiet and so expensive it feels like the money itself is asking you to lower your voice. Start with the column, because the column has died and come back more times than most religions."
