TEC4600757: Facade of a building in the Place des Vosges in Paris. Inaugurated in 1612 during the marriage of Louis XIII (1601-1643) with Anne of Austria (1601-1666), the royal square, known since 1800, Place des Vosges, was created on the site of the Royal Hotel in Tournelles. It consists of thirty-six pavilions, nine on each side, built of stone and brick, with high roofs pierced with beef grooves above arches. This gives it a very rigorous symmetry. We do not know precisely the master of this place. Various names were advanced but without any proof: Louis Metezeau (1560-1615), Clement Metezeau (1581-1652), Jacques II Androuet du Cerceau (circa 1550-1614) or Claude Chastillon (1559-1616). / Bridgeman Images
