It is a 44.3m high victory column that was built between 1806 and 1810. It was cast from 133 Austrian and Russian cannons.
At the top it says…
Napoleon, of course. :)

Its design is inspired by Trajan's Column in Rome. In Paris, there are other similar monuments, such as the July Column in the Place de la Bastille. 🏛️🌟

The striking Napoleonic Victory Column, on the Place Vendôme (one of the five “royal squares” of Paris), has officially been one of the metropolis’ monuments since 1992!

The Victory Column is "crowned" by Napoleon and commemorates the Battle of Austerlitz (Battle of the Three Emperors), in which he - already as emperor - defeated an alliance of Austrian and Russian troops.

An imposing blue, slender column in the center of the Place Vendome. A very classy area here.
