    Ile Saint-Louis (pass by)

    Passage in front of the Ile Saint Louis Île Saint-Louis is, along with Île de la Cité, one of the two natural islands of the Seine that still exist today in Paris (the current Île aux Cygnes is entirely artificial).Located immediately upstream from Île de la Cité, it is the smaller of the two with an area of 11 ha.Île Saint-Louis takes its current name (since 1725) from King Louis IX, nicknamed Saint Louis, patron saint and ancestor of Louis XIII. According to legend, he used to come to pray on the Île aux Vaches and would have taken the cross there with his knights in 1269 before leaving for the Eighth Crusade (an expedition which was fatal to him: Louis IX died of dysentery under the walls of Tunis a year later).The Lambert hotel, one of the most beautiful private mansions on the island, was bought by Abdallah Ben Abdallah-Al-Thani, from the princely family of Qatar. It experienced a major fire in July 2013.

    Pont Neuf (pass by)

    passage under the Pont NeufThe Pont Neuf or Pont-Neuf is, despite its name, the oldest existing bridge in Paris. It crosses the Seine at the western tip of the Ile de la Cité.Built at the end of the 16th century and completed at the beginning of the 17th century, it owes its name to the novelty of a bridge devoid of houses at the time and provided with sidewalks protecting pedestrians from mud and horses. It is also the very first stone bridge in Paris to cross the Seine entirely.This monument has been classified as a historical monument since 18895. In 1991, it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with all the quays of the Seine in Paris.

    Pont des Arts (pass by)

    passage under the Pont des ArtsThe Padlocks of Love (2008-2015)From 20088, the wire mesh parapets of the Pont des Arts became the support for many “love padlocks” hung by couples. This practice then extends to the Léopold-Sédar-Senghor footbridge, the Archbishopric Bridge and the Simone-de-Beauvoir footbridge.Faced with the controversy over the degradation of the heritage caused by the presence of these tons of padlocks which, according to some, would weigh down the bridge and could cause its collapse, and on their aspect considered particularly unsightly by others, the mayor of Paris decides to end it in September 2014. Thus, the fences were definitively removed on June 1, 2015 and were first replaced by a temporary exhibition of street art works by Jace, eL Seed, Pantonio and Brusk9, then by panels in glass from autumn 2015

    Assemblee Nationale (pass by)

    Passage in front of the National AssemblyThe history of national representation for two centuries is closely linked to that of the democratic principle and the rugged path it had to travel before finding in French institutions the consecration that it deserves today.If the French have periodically elected representatives since 1789, the method of appointment and the powers of these representatives have varied considerably from time to time, the periods of erasure of the parliamentary institution generally coinciding with a decline in public freedoms. In this regard, denominations are not innocent. That of the National Assembly, chosen in the fervor of 1789, did not reappear - except for the brief parenthesis of 1848 - until 1946. In the meantime, different names followed.
