The District

The Île Saint-Louis is one of the most charming areas of Paris. An independent island in the Seine river, it is located right in the center of the city. The island is named after King Louis IX of France (Saint Louis).

The island is connected to the rest of Paris by bridges to both banks of the river and by the Pont Saint Louis to the Île de la Cité (home to Notre Dame Cathedral). This island was formerly used for the grazing of market cattle and stocking wood. One of France's first examples of urban planning, it was mapped and built from end to end during the 17th-century reigns of Henri IV and Louis XIII.

A peaceful oasis of calm in the busy Paris centre, this island has just a few narrow one-way streets. Most of the island is residential, but there are several quaint restaurants, shops, cafés and ice cream parlours at street level, as well as one large church, Saint-Louis-en-l'Île Church. Locals and tourists flock here to come to Berthillon--Paris' best-loved ice cream parlor.
