PROJECT FOR PUBLIC SPACES RECOMMENDATION
Place des Vosges is the classic “urban oasis,” tucked away among the narrow streets of the Marais. Walk there on a hot June day, and behold the lawn full of people spread out in blissful relaxation as the square opens up before you. Exactly what is it about Place des Vosges that makes you want to take off your shoes and feel the grass between your toes? In a word: simplicity. The square’s uncomplicated layout–four quadrants anchored by fountains, with plenty of benches, grass, and shady trees–lets you feel at ease from the moment you enter. When you’ve had your fill of leisurely repose, the arcades surrounding the square beckon, brimming with shops and cafés.
