History

Historical Context

The Place Vendôme, built by Hardouin-Mansart and completed by 1720, hosts Paris’s elite jewelers and the Ministry of Justice, symbolizing high-value commerce. After the 1995 theft of $10 million in jewelry, France tightened security laws, a pattern that persisted with the 2025 Paris robbery of Kim Kardashian’s $4 million ring.
