Ablauf
The tour takes place in Paris' Île de la Cité.
This bridge used to be laden with “love-locks”. Couples came to the bridge with special locks that were usually inscribed with their names, locked them on the bridge and then threw the keys in the river. This would presumably ensure that their love would last.
The tour takes you over Pont Neuf.
Under the Equestrian Statue of Henri IV, on one side you'll see a bas-relief panel that shows a humble Henri IV bringing loaves of bread to the people of Paris after a siege. What the picture doesn’t explain is that HE was the one who had put Paris under siege!
The park on the tip of Île de la Cité is called the Square du Vert-Galant. We use the word “square” in French to mean a small park but the Square du Vert-Galant is actually triangular!
The tour passes by the Saule Pleureur de la Pointe.
Place Dauphine plaza was financed by Henri IV and named “The Dauphin” after his son Louis who would become Louis XIII.
The tour passes by the Maison Paul restaurant.
Palais de Justice means courthouse, but it's no ordinary courthouse. It's the Cour de Cassation, one of the highest jurisdictions in the country.
The tour passes by Quai de l’Horloge.
The Conciergerie Museum is where you can learn about the French Revolution and Marie-Antoinette. It's a must-see for people who have an interest in the French Revolution.
Inside the Sainte Chapelle you'll see the most spectacular Gothic stained-glass windows in the world. On a sunny day it feels like you're walking through a kaleidoscope!

About Paris
Paris vereint große Boulevards und Monumente am Fluss mit Caféterrassen, Kunstsammlungen von Weltrang und Vierteln, die sich wie Dörfer anfühlen.
Die Seine fließt durch das Herz der Stadt, vorbei an der Île de la Cité mit Notre-Dame und der Sainte-Chapelle, an der langen Fassade des Louvre und am Musée d'Orsay in einem ehemaligen Bahnhof. Flussabwärts erhebt sich der Eiffelturm über dem Champ de Mars, und der Arc de Triomphe krönt die Champs-Élysées.
Top-ranked sights in Paris: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
