Ile de la Cite and Ile Saint Louis Episode

[02:20] There are four great monuments to visit on the Ile de la Cite: Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral, the Sainte Chapelle, the Archeological Crypt in front of Notre Dame de Paris, and the Conciergerie where Marie-Antoinette was imprisoned. There are also two parks you can visit on the Ile de la Cite, and the cut flower market.
