Notre-Dame Cathedral
Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of the most important monuments in Paris, a sublime masterpiece of Gothic architecture towering majestically over the Ile de la Cité.
The two islands of the Seine in the centre of Paris, Ile de la Cité and Ile St-Louis, are two of the most picturesque and romantic corners of Paris.
Once autonomous medieval villages, the two islands still preserve traces of an ancient past, of intrigue and bloody political struggles.
In the Middle Ages, this small island on the Seine was the heart of political and religious power, as evidenced by the imposing Palais de Justice and Notre-Dame Cathedral.
You can imagine life at the time by browsing the stalls of the flower market or the quaint little squares.
Take your time to stroll through the picturesque alleys and elegant palaces where artists, actresses, doctors and important people have lived over the centuries.
Magnificent are the tree-lined boulevards, romantic riverside promenades, quaint shops and picturesque little restaurants.
The most romantic corner of the islands? The area between Pont Saint-Louis and Pont Louis-Philippe, the tip of the island, an idyllic and charming place, especially in the evening.
Moreover, in summer, the two most beautiful bridges in the area, Pont Saint-Louis and Pont au Double, are filled with original street performers and musicians who will enliven your strolls.
