Île Saint-Louis, River island in 4th arrondissement, France

The Île Saint-Louis extends over eleven hectares in the Seine River, connected to Paris by four bridges and to the Île de la Cité by Pont Saint-Louis.

The island transformed from cattle grazing land to an urban district between 1614 and 1635 under the supervision of developer Christophe Marie, who filled the canal and built stone banks.

The Church of Saint-Louis-en-l'Île, built between 1664 and 1726, represents Baroque architecture and holds regular classical music performances throughout the year.

Visitors can access the island through Pont Marie from the Right Bank, Pont de la Tournelle from the Left Bank, or Pont Saint-Louis from Île de la Cité.

The central street, Rue Saint-Louis-en-l'Île, contains Berthillon ice cream shop, established boutiques, and historical mansions with preserved 17th-century architecture.
