"This is the Place des Vosges — thirty-six red brick houses, four stories each, arranged in a perfect square around the park. Every facade is identical, because the king ordered it that way. Henri the Fourth built this in sixteen twelve, which makes it the oldest planned square in Paris. It's also one of the quietest cons in Paris real estate. Look closely at the brick. Some of it isn't brick."
