Whenever the rich and famous are in Paris, they head for the city's most beautiful square, the Place Vendôme, and the two elegant streets leading to it-- the Rue de la Paix and the Rue de Castiglione. In this delightful book, a veritable paean to conspicuous consumption, Alexis Gregory reconstructs a wonderfully rich and varied tapestry of the changing life of the Place Vendôme, originally conceived by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, First Architect to the Sun King Louis XIV, as a tribute to the monarch.

In text and photographs, Paris Deluxe traces the history of the Place Vendôme, from the square's beginnings as a high-risk property speculation, to its life in the twentieth century as Paris's center of fashion, jewelry, high finance, and art, a playground for international society that converges at the Paris Ritz, undoubtedly still the most elegant, expensive, and comfortable hotel in the world. The cast of extraordinary personalities who have left their marks on the square covers the spectrum from fashion and jewelry-- names like Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, Frederic Worth, Cartier, Boucheron-- to financiers J.P. Morgan and John Law, and every prominent name in art and high society-- Edward, Prince of Wales, the Vanderbilts, Baroness Guy de Rothschild, Lillie Langtry, René Lalique and the Crozats, whose art collection was bought by Diderot for Catherine the Great.

The presence of tycoons and crooks, dealers and collectors, couturiers and fashion plates, jewelers and their royal clients, politicians, Russian Grand Dukes, Indian Maharajas, and celebrities from movie stars to Ernest Hemingway has lent the Place Vendôme an ineffable aura. This luxuriously illustrated and evocatively written book will be cherished by every sybarite, francophile, and person of fashion.

Got the job done!
Size: 5 FT (2 prong plug), Color: White
This was the perfect solution. Old outlet and the single plug didn’t overly strain the wall socket. Lots of plug-ins for all our electronics and a long enough core to reach them all.

Lots of nice features
Size: 5 FT (2 prong plug), Color: White
664Very nice. Even the slots on the sides will enable a larger than expected plug. Wish they included the screws for mounting. Didn't think it would be a big deal as I always keep the extras from projects, but it would have been a nice touch. If you do mount the power strip, it does reduce the size of the plug it will accommodate on the sides. Also wish I would have purchased the longer cord- NOT the fault of the product. Love the flat angled plug! I'm using it behind an adjustable bed frame that moves several times a night, so knowing I won't accidentally knock it out of the wall is nice. And you can easily use both wall plugs. Also very convenient to connect the USB & USB-c plugs without the bricks.

Works perfectly for what I needed
Size: 5 FT (2 prong plug), Color: White
We have an older house and I needed a 3 prong plug in our living room and this has absolutely done the job. I love that I can now plug my computer in and as a bonus, I can charge my phone if needed. The cord link is longer than I needed for the living room but worked great for a recent trip.
