Place Vendome

Napoleon made a point with this bronze spiral made from melted down cannons from the Battle of Austerlitz (1805). It's a big comic strip narrating a tale of heroic derring do. I think there's one in Rome built by some emperor that gave N the idea. It's a beautiful symmetrical square surrounded by nice looking apartments. The Uber driver parked in front of the monument is a nice touch.
