A small island in the middle of the Seine, Île de la Cité is the oldest part of Paris — this is where the city was born over 2,000 years ago. Home to the breathtaking Gothic Sainte-Chapelle and the historic Conciergerie, the island has been at the centre of French history for centuries. Walk its ancient bridges, feel the river on both sides, and discover a side of Paris that most tourists rush past. A truly unique backdrop for photos unlike anything else in the city.
