Île de la Cité

Is Île de la Cité worth it for photographers?

Worth itFor photos

For beauty & photography, Île de la Cité delivers.

The historic core where Paris began: you can string Notre-Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, the Conciergerie and the flower market into one easy loop, then cross to the storybook Île Saint-Louis for an ice cream. Compact, central, and packed with the heavyweight sights.
