	Königsplätze I: Place des Vosges
		Frorn the compressed triangle of the Place Dauphine on the Ile de la Cité, which Henry IV began in 1606, to the expansive Place de la Concorde, inaugurated by Louis XV in 1763, the professed intention of honoring the monarchy also served to develop the city and create usable public space.
		The first planned square in Paris was the Place Royale (now Place des Vosges), which Henry IV commissioned in 1605 as a setting for royal fêtes and as the center of the Marais, an aristocratic faubourg that had supplanted religious foundations established in the 12th century on drained marshland.
		Madame de Sévigné was born at No. 1, and Victor Hugo lived at No. 6 (now the Hugo Museum) but, by the end of the 18th century, the Marais had become a disfrict of artisans’ workshops and poor immigrants.
