• Île de la Cité - Begin the tour at the meeting point by exploring Île de la Cité, the oldest area in Paris. Formerly known as Lutetia, this ancient Roman city was the precursor to modern Paris, from which the city expanded.

• Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris - Next, view the renowned Notre-Dame Cathedral (exterior only) – the most iconic Gothic cathedral of the Middle Ages, celebrated for its size, age, and architectural significance.

• Palais de Justice de Paris - Situated on the Île de la Cité, the Palais de Justice, once called the Palais de la Cité, includes some of the oldest surviving structures such as:

• Sainte-Chapelle - A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, Sainte-Chapelle was constructed in seven years to house sacred Christian relics, including Christ’s crown of thorns, acquired by Saint Louis.

• Conciergerie - The Conciergerie is the oldest remaining section of the Palais de la Cité and was once the most infamous prison in France. Over a thousand “enemies of the Revolution” were imprisoned here, including notable figures like Marie Antoinette.

• Fontaine Saint-Michel - Pass by the Saint-Michel fountain, a grand fountain commissioned by Haussmann under Napoleon III. It portrays the archangel Michael defeating the Devil, symbolizing the struggle between Good and Evil.

• Place Dauphine - Then, visit Place Dauphine, a charming historic square that embodies the beauty and romance of Paris. Nestled on the western tip of the Île de la Cité, Place Dauphine was one of the first projects commissioned by Henri IV.

• Statue équestre d’Henri IV - On the bridge, see the equestrian statue of King Henri IV. Although the original statue was from the 1600s, the current one is a replica, as the original was destroyed during the French Revolution.

• Pont-Neuf - Walk to Pont Neuf, the oldest stone bridge in Paris. Today, Pont Neuf is part of the Seine’s banks, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

• Pont des Arts - Before heading to the Louvre, see the Pont des Arts, a bridge connecting the Institut de France and the Louvre. Built between 1801 and 1804, it was the first iron bridge in Paris.

The Palace housed royal families until the Palace of Versailles was built. Enjoy the serene gardens surrounded by stunning futuristic architecture and contemporary sculptures.

Pei.
