Île de la Cité, Paris

4.7

#2 of 8 in Nature in Paris

Île de la Cité is one of two natural islands in the Seine at the heart of Paris. As the place where the medieval city was founded, the island is known for its cobblestone streets and historic buildings. One important landmark is Conciergerie prison, where Marie Antoinette awaited execution in 1793. The island’s teardrop shape makes its streets quite interesting, with buildings and bridges forced to adapt to this landscape. Small walkways and a staircase behind the statue by the Pont Neuf bridge allow you to walk down along the river’s edge. A small bridge connecting the other island, Île Saint-Louis, is a gathering place for street performers showcasing their talents. Île de la Cité is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our international travel planner, Paris Edition.

É um local cheio de história, onde os parisis se assentaram pela primeira vez, protegidos pelo Sena. O ponto alto é, sem dúvida, a Notre Dame, mas há muito mais para apreciar, como as pontes, o Rio Se... more »

It is a place full of history, where the parisis settled for the first time, protected by the Seine. The highlight is undoubtedly the Notre Dame, but there is much more to enjoy, like the bridges, the river Seine, the ground zero of Paris, and the Roman ruins.

Sarebbe da sogno se fosse pedonale, invece la usano moltissime macchine, quindi risulta davvero un caos. Però è obbligatorio. Consigliato la notte, dove si gode un'atmosfera più magica more »
