You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Place des Vosges''' (((IPA-fr|plas de voʒ))), originally the '''Place Royale''', is the oldest planned square in [[Paris]], [[France]]. It is located in the [[le Marais|Marais]] district, and it straddles the dividing-line between the [[3rd arrondissement of Paris|3rd]] and [[4th arrondissement of Paris|4th]] [[Arrondissements of Paris|arrondissements]] of Paris. It was a fashionable and expensive square to live in during the 17th and 18th centuries, and one of the main reasons for the chic nature of [[Le Marais]] among the Parisian nobility.

== History ==
Originally known as the Place Royale, the Place des Vosges was built by [[Henry IV of France|Henri IV]] from 1605 to 1612. A true square (140 m × 140 m), it embodied one of the first European programs of royal city planning ([[Plaza Mayor, Madrid|Plaza Mayor]] in Madrid, begun in 1590, precedes it). It was built on the site of the [[Hôtel des Tournelles]] and its gardens: at a tournament at the Tournelles, a royal residence, [[Henry II of France|Henri II]] was wounded and died. [[Catherine de' Medici]] had the Gothic complex demolished, and she moved to the [[Louvre Palace]].

[[File:France 5 Francs 1959. VF- Banknote, Reverse.jpg|left|thumb|The reverse of a 5 [[French franc]]s 1959 banknote of the French national bank (((lang|fr|[[Banque de France]]|italic=no))) with a portrait of [[Victor Hugo]]. To the right is an image of the Place des Vosges.]]

The Place Royale, inaugurated in 1612 with a grand ''[[carrousel]]'' to celebrate the engagement of [[Louis XIII of France|Louis XIII]] and [[Anne of Austria]], is a prototype of the residential squares of European cities that were to come. What was new about the Place Royale in 1612 was that the housefronts were all built to the same design, probably by [[Jean Baptiste Androuet du Cerceau]],<ref>. Other architects, like [[Louis Métezeau]], were responsible for the constructions erected behind these regular façades</ref> of red brick with strips of stone quoins over vaulted [[Arcade (architecture)|arcade]]s that stand on square pillars. The steeply-pitched blue slate roofs are pierced with discreet small-paned dormers above the pedimented dormers that stand upon the cornices. Only the north range was built with the vaulted ceilings that the "galleries" were meant to have. Two pavilions that rise higher than the unified roofline of the square centre the north and south faces and offer access to the square through triple arches. Though they are designated the Pavilion of the King and of the Queen, no royal has ever lived in the aristocratic square, except for [[Anne of Austria]] in the Pavilion de la Reine, for a short while. The Place Royale initiated subsequent developments of Paris that created a suitable urban background for the French aristocracy and nobility.

The square was often the place for the nobility to chat, and served as a meeting place for them. This was so until the [[French Revolution|Revolution]].

Before the square was completed, Henri IV ordered the [[Place Dauphine]] to be laid out. Within a mere five-year period, the king oversaw an unmatched building scheme for the ravaged medieval city: additions to the [[Louvre Palace]], the [[Pont Neuf]], and the [[Hôpital Saint-Louis|Hôpital Saint Louis]] as well as the two royal squares.

Cardinal Richelieu had an equestrian bronze of [[Louis XIII of France|Louis XIII]] erected in the centre (there were no garden plots until 1680). In the late 18th century, while most of the nobility moved to the [[Faubourg Saint-Germain]] district, the square managed to keep some of its aristocratic owners until the [[French Revolution|Revolution]]. It was renamed the Place des Vosges in 1799 when the ''[[département in France|département]]'' of [[Vosges (department)|Vosges]] became the first to pay taxes supporting a campaign of the [[French Revolution|Revolutionary army]]. The [[Bourbon Restoration in France|Restoration]] returned the old royal name, but the short-lived [[French Second Republic|Second Republic]] restored the revolutionary one in 1870.

Today the square is planted with a [[bosquet]] of mature [[Tilia|linden]]s set in grass and gravel, surrounded by clipped lindens.
