Place Vendome

Today we went to Place Vendome. If you don’t know Paris or fashion

This photo doesn't do the feel of the place justice.

that name probably doesn’t mean anything to you – it didn’t mean anything to me. But when I got there it was pretty amazing. In addition to the architecture and feel of the place and huge monument I. The middle of it, the stores around the entire square are the “Who’s Who” of jewelry and watches. Here’s the full list of all the brands: Repossi, Breguet, Dior, Lorenz Baumer, Buccellati, Patek Phillipe, Vhaumet, Fred, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Rolex, Dubail, Cartier, Louis Vutton, Chauret, Boucheron, VanCleef & Argels, Blanain, Mauboussin, Chanel, Piaget, Swatch, Hublot, Mikimoto.

The place we went was the sales office of Charles Oudin – second floor of me of the other places. We looked at many watches and carriage clocks almost all a couple hundred years old.

The weather is cooler today but still nice – actually a bit refreshing and not too hot like it would be in the summer.

Sorry, I can’t finish this because it is past midnight and we have to get up at 6:00 to take a long bus ride. I will add more and photos to this later so come back and look at it again. I will just put in one photo for now.
