[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Place dauphine is a historical square in Paris named after the son of King Henri IV, which is located on the Ile de la Cite and was constructed while the Place des Vosges was being constructed and after the Pont Neuf Bridge had been built over the River Seine.
A bit of history
Originally King Henri II wanted a new bridge constructed at the tip of the Ile de la Cite island located in the River Seine, however, the first stone was only laid by King Henri III several years later, but was only completed under the reign of King Henri IV at the start of the 1600s.
During the time that the Pont Neuf, which is now the oldest bridge in Paris was nearing completion, a major task of constructing the Place Royale square was also started under the orders of King Henri IV, although this square today is now known as the Place des Vosges.
Yet after the bridge was finished, the king also decided that he wanted an additional square and garden in Paris to be located on the Ile de la Cite island by the original kings palace, which became the Palais de Justice.

Even though many of these houses have been completely transformed, increased in height or had their facades completely redone and one side even demolished in the 18th century after the fires during the Paris Commune, there are two Pavilions located by the Pont Neuf that connect the Ile de la Cite either side, that have remained intact and original.
Yet when King Henri IV died, his widow Marie de Medicis, who became the Regent of France, commissioned an equestrian statue of the king and this is to be seen in front of these two pavilions by the Square du Vert Galant.

Unfortunately, the original statue was destroyed during the French Revolution and even the name of the square was changed during this time to Place de Thionville. But after the monarchy was restored, a replica was produced in the early 1800s utilising the original cast and the bronze from a statue of General Louis Desaix, who was admired greatly by Napoleon Bonaparte, and in fact his name is one of those listed on the Arc de Triomphe, which is the most famous triumphal arch monument in Paris.
