ÎLE SAINT LOUIS

An architectural gem, Île Saint-Louis is a haven of tranquility nestled in the heart of Old Paris.

Considered a privileged residential area since the 17th century, Île Saint-Louis nestles between the two banks of the Seine and has only 8 streets and 4 quays. Formerly called “Island of Palaces”, it has a homogeneous architecture and sumptuous mansions preserved for more than four centuries, giving it a unique charm. Connected to the rest of the city by six bridges, the district remains sheltered from the surrounding noise and bustle, almost giving it a holiday feel. This district steeped in history is inhabited by the huge Saint-Louis-en-l’Île Church, recognizable by its Baroque style and its interior decoration of unsuspected richness.

Ideal place to learn the art of urban strolling, the island was very popular with the greatest poets and writers of the time: Charles Baudelaire, Théophile Gautier or Louis Aragon liked to come and soak up its atmosphere. particular. Rue Saint-Louis-en-l’Île, crossing the district from East to West, is a small landmark of art galleries, while the quays of Anjou and Bourbon offer us a unique panorama of the Saint-Gervais district. .

Undeniably the emblematic district of the capital.
