The work will continue until 1588. We pass in front of the bridge

Ile de la Cite (pass by)

A magnificent island The Île de la Cité is the cradle of Paris, where the initial nucleus of Lutetia developed. Over time, in the shelter of its fortifications, the civil, military and religious powers of the region were established there and then developed. After the year 1000, the Capetian kings built a first Royal Palace (which became the current Palace of Justice). The bishops of Paris built Notre-Dame Cathedral. From that moment on, the Ile de la Cité was no longer sufficient to accommodate all the inhabitants. They then established themselves on the island of Saint Louis and on both banks of the Seine. We pass in front of the island and on both banks
