Whenever the rich and famous are in Paris, they head for the city€s most beautiful square, the Place Vend´me. This evocatively written volume traces the square€s history from its beginnings in the time of Louis XIV to its life in the twentieth century as Paris€s center of fashion, jewelry, high finance, and art. From designers Chanel and Schiaparelli to European high society, Russian grand dukes, Indian maharajas, and celebrities from Lillie Langtry to Ernest Hemingway, a cast of extraordinary personalities have lent the Place Vend´me an ineffable aura.
