Uninhabited island connected to the shore by a simple footbridge, which was mainly used for grazing in Paris.

In the Middle Ages, Île Saint-Louis was known as Île Notre-Dame. Uninhabited and linked to the shore by a simple footbridge, it was mainly used for grazing. It was cut in two by a channel that was later filled in to form a single island, which was named Île Saint-Louis, in honour of King Louis IX (Saint Louis). The island was urbanised around 1640 under Marie de Médicis. From then on, numerous private mansions were built and streets were laid out in a checkerboard pattern, such as rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile, which still runs the length of the island today.

Un quartier très agréable pour flâner, plutôt en fin de journée, où il y a moins de touristes. On peut descendre sur les bords de seine d'un côté et c'est particulièrement sympa.

j'adore ce lieu fait de tout un tas de petites rues avec des tout petits trottoirs. On peut découvrir dans ce quartier de nombreuses petites boutiques de bibelots, de sacs, de vétements ....
