It is called "Paris Jewelry Box", French jewelry brands set up shop here, and the expensive Hotel Ritz is in the corner of the square, and some shootings also come here. The style of the whole square is simple and solemn, and the architectural pattern is the epitome of the combination of Parisian spirit and style. The floor of the square is paved with beautiful light-colored granite, with shiny steel columns to separate traffic and pedestrians. The buildings around the square are uniform, with large arches on the ground floor, triangular lintels on the top, dormer windows on the roof, and logos of various brands arranged in an orderly manner. The traffic around Vendôme Bronze Column Square is very developed, and many subway lines can reach the nearby Opera subway station. The style of the square itself is very simple and solemn, and it is surrounded by two U-shaped buildings. In the middle of the square stands the 44-meter-high bronze column of Vendôme, which was melted and cast with more than 1,200 cannons captured in the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805. It is decorated with reliefs of war scenes and a statue of Napoleon on top. . No. 15 north of the famous Ritz Hotel Plaza is the famous Ritz Hotel. The exterior of the hotel looks very restrained, a Baroque palace-style building that can be seen everywhere in Europe, only five stories high. The facade is also very low-key, about three or four meters wide, and there is no eye-catching signboard at the door. When you first arrived, if you didn't notice the word "Ritz" on the window awning, even standing in front of it, you wouldn't know that this is the famous Ritz Hotel.
