PARIS HAS FIVE:* THEY FOLLOW THE MODEL OF PLACE DES VOSGES, WITH AT THEIR CENTER AN EQUESTRIAN STATUE OF THE REIGNING KING**
* Place des Vosges and place Dauphine (toward 1600), place des Victoires and place Vendôme (toward 1685), place de la Concorde (1755).
* With that of place Dauphine on the bridge.
Claude Abron
At place des Victoires, the model is taken up exactly.
Diaporama, Louvre
At place Vendôme, the statue looks out over the buildings: no one is above the king.
Place de Concorde is described on the next page.
Abroad, 18th-century capitals take up the Parisian model
