While there are street entertainers galore in Paris, Pont St-Louis always seems occupied by a group of musicians. It connects Isle de la Cite with Isle St-Louis and is one of the most romantic spots in the city. In early evening or after dark, you can enjoy watching people strolling the bridge or boats gliding down the Seine. If inclined, curbside entertainment is available. Both islands are located in the heart of central Paris yet couldn’t be more different. Isle de la Cite houses Notre Dame and its accompanying hoards of tourists, while Isle St-Louis has a real village feel. It is a great place to meander while making time to explore interesting shops, visit two great ice cream venues (one French; the other Italian) and of course, stop in a café or two to enjoy the view or rest your pieds. A lovely way to spend the afternoon.
Berthillon (ice cream), 31 rue St-Louis-en-I’lle, Ile St-Louis [1st].
Amorino (gelato), 47 rue St-Louis-en-I’lle, Ile St-Louis [1st].
