PLACE DAUPHINE
It is one of the nicest squares of Paris. Very quiet, it forms a triangle at the west end of Île de la Cité, between the courthouse and the Pont-Neuf. At the time, the land by which the latter passes, the square of Green-Galant and Place Dauphine consisted of three islands attached to the island. The construction of this square dates back to 1607 and its name is in fact a tribute to the son of Henri IV, the future Louis XIII. The aesthetic of this space recalls its contemporary, place des Vosges, the ex-place Royale. It presents houses made of bricks, white stones and slates. Note that the mythical couple Simone Signoret - Yves Montand had lived in one of the buildings of this place.
