Whether you're headed to Notre Dame or the Palais de Justice, you will ultimately find yourself on The Île de la Cite, the birthplace of Paris and one of two remaining natural islands on the Seine within city limits. Highlights include the oldest bridge in Paris, Pont Neuf, which celebrated its 400th birthday in 2007; the Conciergerie, the former prison where Marie Antoinette was incarcerated before being sent to the guillotine; and Saint-Chapelle, a stunning display of Gothic stone and stained glasswork built by the crusader king Louis IX.
