MemberOvomorphMar-08-2012 2:27 PMThere's a little area of subburban Montreal, Canada here called "Vendome", and they even named a Metro Station the same after that famous building in Paris as well, but sadly I know nothing about it's background.

The fire reportedly broke out in a car parked on the second floor of the garage, according to gtspirit.com. There were no reports of injuries, although one of 90 firemen at the scene was said to have suffered smoke inhalation, The Australian reported.
Place Vendome, in the city's First Arrondissement, is known for its upscale shopping and the posh Ritz hotel. Employees in the immediate area of the fire were reportedly evacuated.
