This space was originally a velvet manufacturing industry with a workers’ space. it was rebuilt as a visible collection for aristocrats to reside in with a stage for court ceremonies, jousting tournaments, and public celebrations in a time where the city was integrating with no absolute rule.

Place des Vosges

Explanation:

Originally Place Royale, it was built by Henri IV from 1605 to 1612. It embodied the first European program of royal city planning, since the square is a prototype of the residential squares of European cities (oldest planned square in Paris) where the house-fronts were all built to the same design. Moreover, it was the place for the nobility to chat and meet, and it was a favorite place for duels ad celebrations until french revolution. It was renamed in 1799 as Place des Vosgues when the department of the Vosges became the first to pay taxes supporting a campaign of the revolutionary army.

Before its construction, another prominent building occupied the northern end of the square: the 'Hôtel de Tournelles'. It was acquired by the crown in 1409 and served as a residence for the Royal family until 1559, Henri II died there and his widow caused the building to be demolished. In 1604 began to operate a velvet manufacturing industry in a recently constructed building. As the site was big an square was formed in front of the completed factory by the addition of three residential constructions, so the square was a workers' space. But, The factory was closed in 1606, and an identical fourth, northern, side to the square was built and the space was rebuilt as the royal square.
