Thriving - the heart and soul of the city.
The Ile de la Cité was populated even back in Roman times and, because of Sainte-Chapelle and Notre-Dame, is a popular tourist destination.

This is a great place to enjoy the essence of Parisien. A tour around (and inside) Notre Dame opens up the world of Gothic France and in the process you discover WWII (through the Memorial to the Martyrs to Deportation) and modern Paris (through the major police station).

The local cafe scene is the uncommon combination of very French and very welcoming. All in all, a great way to spend a day.
