| Description |  |
The Ile Saint-Louis is one of two natural islands in the Seine river, in Paris, France (the other natural island is Ile de la Cité, the Ile des Cygnes is artificial). The island is named after King Louis IX of France (Saint Louis). A peaceful oasis of calm in the busy Paris centre, this island has but narrow one-way streets, no métro stations and two bus stops. Most of the island is residential, but there are several restaurants, shops, cafés and ice cream parlours at street level, as well as one large church, Saint-Louis-en-l'Ile Church. |
