Walks in Île de la Cité.

One editor-picked walk through Île de la Cité, plus nearby routes for the same morning if you want to keep going.

Sainte-Chapelle's glass, the prow of the island, and Berthillon at the far end.

Other walks close to Île de la Cité.

Sorted by distance from the start of the two islands: cité to saint-louis. Good for stitching together a longer day.

A green-fronted bookshop, a Roman arena in a courtyard, and the baths under Cluny.

Toy boats on the pond, a hidden fountain, and the theatre quarter that frames the park.

The oldest church in Paris, two literary cafés, and the gallery street that ignores them both.

The old market street, a pâtisserie from 1730, and modern art under a dome.
