• Place Dauphine - Place Dauphine is a public square near the western end of the Île de la Cité in Paris’s first arrondissement. Initiated by Henry IV in 1607, it was his second project for public squares in Paris, following Place Royale (now Place des Vosges). Named for his son, the Dauphin of France and future Louis XIII, born in 1601, the “square,” actually triangular, provides access to the middle of Pont Neuf, connecting the Seine’s left and right banks over the Île de la Cité.

Originally part of the royal palace, the Palais de la Cité, it included the Sainte-Chapelle. Two large medieval halls remain from the palace. During the French Revolution, 2,780 prisoners, including Marie-Antoinette, were held, tried, and sentenced at the Conciergerie, then sent elsewhere for execution by guillotine. It is now a national monument and museum.
• Sainte-Chapelle - The Sainte-Chapelle, or Holy Chapel, is a Gothic-style royal chapel within the medieval Palais de la Cité, the residence of the French Kings until the 14th century, on the Île de la Cité in the Seine River in Paris, France.

Situated at 37 rue de la Bûcherie in the 5th arrondissement, it was initially called “Le Mistral” but renamed “Shakespeare and Company” in 1964 to honor Sylvia Beach’s store and mark the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s birth.

Located in the 5th arrondissement on the Left Bank of the Seine River, about 500 meters from the Musée de Cluny and near the Maubert-Mutualité Paris Métro station, it shares a city block with Square René Viviani. Originally a Roman Catholic place of worship, Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre was built in stages from the 12th to the 19th centuries and granted to the Eastern Catholic Melkite community in 1889. Its design was modified several times, resulting in a significantly smaller church than initially planned.

Richelieu bequeathed it to Louis XIII, and Louis XIV later gave it to his younger brother, the Duke of Orléans. As successive Dukes of Orléans made extensive alterations over the years, almost nothing remains of Lemercier’s original design. The Palais-Royal now serves as the seat of the Ministry of Culture, the Conseil d’État, and the Constitutional Council. The central Palais-Royal Garden (Jardin du Palais-Royal) serves as a public park, with its arcade housing shops.
