Colonne de Vendôme was built from metal melted down 1250 artillery pieces taken from Russian and Austrian armies at the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805.
  

The Vendôme column is surrounded by famous hotels and jewelers in place Vendôme. Its architects were directly inspired by Trajan’s Column in Rome
