As Victor Hugo wrote in his great Gothic novel, Notre-Dame de Paris, “Paris was born on île de la Cité, this old island in the shape of a cradle.”
Join veteran Paris writer Jeffrey T Iverson on a two-part virtual tour over the River Seine to the island where the City of Light began.
In Part I, we’ve discovered Île de la Cité’s epic history, from the Roman era through the Middle Ages.
Now in Part II we meet the shopkeepers, craftspeople and restaurateurs who embody the way this island, like Paris, has reinvented itself time and again for more than 2,000 years.
