This island is well worth the short walk from the rear of the Notre Dame cathedral. There are many fine small restaurants to have a delicious meal and the atmosphere of the island is more like a neighborhood than a place in the middle of Paris.

If you want to stroll and enjoy special shopping, and not the huge once, you have to be there! Don't forget to push the doors to get a glance of the courtyards hidden behind!

We walked trough Ile St. Louis on our first trip to Paris - and ever since I wanted to come back and stay there. This time we rented an apartment and got the real Parisian experience. Good location to see the City; quiet, elegant - lovely. And if you love ice cream or galato, there is no better place in... More

If it's a sunny day, head to ile st louis and you're not gonna regret it! all of the young students from all over the world and all over paris are gathered here during the day sunbathing and playing guitars during the night.

Berthiolli ice creams. We had a lovely sunny day so it was a nice place to stroll. Tried to find sainte Chappelle, but it was closed when we did find it. The palais of justice appears to be built round it.

But still worth a stroll. Had lunch at Cafe Med...terrible name, but very nice lunch. Some of the little shops seem to come an go. We looked for a favorite candy shop, but "poof"...gone.

I did not feel visiting this Ile was worthwhile. The architecture, shops, and restaurants were not remarkable.

We walked here for an evening crepe at about 8 pm. Firstly there was a full Jazz band playing on the bridge from Ile de Cite with a full size piano (?). then we had the best caramel crepe in the world and walked home admiring the city of lights.

After 15 mins you wonder what you are still doing there .but it's a must, and a nice place to cue for ice cream by the bridge
