Itinerary

Statue de la Liberte

Passing by

This statue was installed and inaugurated in 1889 at the Grenelle bridge, it then faced the Eiffel Tower and pointed its torch in the direction of the Elysée; she will finally be moved with her back to the Grande Dame in 1937 in order to face New York where her big sister is located

we pass by boat in front of the statue
Tour Eiffel / Invalides

Passing by

The Eiffel Tower was built to be one of the main attractions of the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1889. The 1889 Universal Exhibition occupied the entire Champ-de-Mars in Paris. We pass in front of the Eiffel Tower
Pont Alexandre III

Passing by

A magnificent bridge.

The engineers created a remarkable cast steel bridge, 160 meters long. As the specifications predicted, the Alexandre III Bridge is perfectly decorated. 32 bronze candelabra (these beautiful lampposts with several branches), 4 pillars 17 meters high topped with golden crowns, a rich cast iron decoration in the Louis XIV style and beautiful lion statues at each end magnify this bridge, which has been classified as a historic monument since 1975. We pass under this bridge
Pont Neuf

Passing by

The construction of the first stone bridge in France was decided in 1577 by King Henry III, who appointed a commission responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the work.

A year later, the first stone of the bridge was laid by the king himself, in the presence of the queen mother Catherine de Medici and the king's wife, Louise de Lorraine. The work will continue until 1588. We pass in front of the bridge
Ile de la Cite

Passing by

A magnificent island The Île de la Cité is the cradle of Paris, where the initial nucleus of Lutetia developed.

Over time, in the shelter of its fortifications, the civil, military and religious powers of the region were established there and then developed.

After the year 1000, the Capetian kings built a first Royal Palace (which became the current Palace of Justice).

The bishops of Paris built Notre-Dame Cathedral. From that moment on, the Ile de la Cité was no longer sufficient to accommodate all the inhabitants. They then established themselves on the island of Saint Louis and on both banks of the Seine. We pass in front of the island and on both banks
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris

Passing by

Notre Dame de Paris

Building dating from the Middle Ages, the first stone was laid in 1163 and construction lasted two centuries, ending in 1351.

The architecture was extraordinary for the time. The stained glass windows, the nave, the framework and the towers which climb to a height of 69 meters are a real technical feat in front of the cathedral. we pass in front
Ile Saint-Louis

Passing by

Saint Louis Island, a place ideal for strolling, attracts lovers of Old Paris, walkers and tourists from all over the world with its unique atmosphere. Maison Berthillon and its famous ice creams, the beautiful bookstores, the pretty shops and the charming cafés.
