Stunning 17th century square in the Marais district of Paris. When it was completed in 1612 (as the Place Royale) it instantly became one of THE places to live in Paris if you were wealthy or nobility and that has never changed.
The "place" is actually a square surrounded by vaulted continuous buildings on all sides with a central garden and fountain.
I've visited a couple of times and it's always a pleasure to wander around the arcades.
Not sure why it was rejected from the Tentative list, it ticks all the boxes for a full listing.
