Uninhabited island connected to the shore by a simple footbridge which was used mainly for grazing in Paris
In the Middle Ages, the Saint-Louis Island was called Notre-Dame Island. Uninhabited and linked to the shore by a simple footbridge, it was used mainly for grazing. It was cut in two by a channel that was then filled in to form a single island that was called Île Saint-Louis, in honor of King Louis IX (Saint Louis). This island was urbanized around 1640 under Marie de Médicis. From then on, many private mansions were built there and streets took a checkerboard shape with the street Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile which still runs along its entire length today.

Quartier très agréable pour une balade à Paris. Parcourez la rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile, la principale artère, qui regroupe boutiques et restaurants. Belles façades tout au long de la rue.
