At the very heart of Paris, in the middle of the Seine, lie two enticing river islands: the Île de la Cité and the Île St-Louis. The former is the ancient core of the city, harbouring Paris's most venerable monuments – the Gothic cathedral of Notre-Dame and the stunning Sainte Chapelle. Amid the grandeur you'll also find some unexpected leafy havens, like the square du Vert-Galant, an ideal retreat from the bustle of the city. Linked to the Île de la Cité by ler Ile St-Louis mato speak of, all ondsome e-century houses, villagey streets and tree-lined quais.
