Here you will encounter Paris not as a bustling city, but as a sacred place

At the foot of Saint Genevieve, the city will reveal itself in a different light—
in the soft glow of the Seine

The bridge connects the left bank of the river and the island of Saint-Louis. It is 122 meters long and 23 meters wide

Saint Genevieve — Christian saint, heavenly patroness of Paris

Built in 1657

Blessed is he whose thoughts, inspired by the dawn,
Soar like a free bird into the heavens,
Who hears the silent voices of flowers and grasses,
Whose spirit rises
high above the earth!

Delacroix, Dumas, and Balzac used to visit here

Here they served strong coffee with a special hashish jam

making the best ice cream since 1954

The renowned pastry chef Raymond Bertillon was the founder of this establishment
and the creator of most of the recipes

Take a moment to pause.
Let this creamy delight melt on your tongue

There is always a queue in front of the café

Berthillon produces more than 70 varieties of ice cream in a range of flavors and tastes: whiskey, strawberry, caramel, kiwi, honey, papaya, lemon

Since 1239, the cathedral has housed sacred Christian relics: the crown of thorns of Jesus Christ, a fragment of the cross on which he was crucified, and one of the nails

You won’t rush, you won’t look for the right angle — you’ll just stop.
"In this silence,
you will hear the voice of centuries."

The history of the square begins in 1605, when, by decree of King Henry IV, a plot of land was set aside on the site of the Hôtel Tournelle and its gardens for celebrations marking the engagement of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria

From the window of his mansion at number 21, Cardinal Richelieu watches the duel

In the center is Louis XIII Square, where you can see an equestrian statue of the monarch

Take a break at Place des Vosges and admire its regular shape. Imagine Paris in the days of the Musketeers

The view that inspired Hugo to write "Les Misérables"

A mansion built between 1475 and 1507
as the capital residence of Archbishop Sans

The mansion was often rented out, which is why many curious figures from French history managed to live here

Marguerite de Valois
(May 14, 1553, Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye – March 27, 1615, Paris) – Queen of France and Navarre, Duchess of Valois. Daughter of French King Henry II and Catherine de Medici

In 1911, the Paris City Council bought the building and by 1928 had managed to rehouse all the tenants of the communal apartments located in the mansion.
After that, in 1929, a decision was made to place the library in the Hôtel de Sances

The mansion was built between 1656 and 1659 by architect Jean Boullier for Pierre Ober de Fontenay, who became wealthy by increasing the salt tax. This is where the name Sale comes from

The tower was built between 1887 and 1889 and was originally intended as a temporary structure serving as the entrance arch to the Paris World’s Fair

Gâteau Nantais is a soft round cake created
in 1820 by Rolo, a master baker from Nantes

And it is the Eiffel Tower, which blossoms in the rays of the setting sun

It is made from flour, sugar, salted butter, eggs, and almond flour, then soaked in rum and lemon punch, sometimes with apricot jelly in the center. The top of the round cake or pastry is covered with white icing diluted with rum.

You will sit down on the grass and realize: “This day is like a movie, where you are the main character.”

The length of the route from the Tournel Bridge to the Eiffel Tower via the specified locations is approximately 7.5 kilometers
