Île Saint-Louis

thumb
Île Saint-Louis is connected to the rest of Paris by four bridges to both banks of the river and to the Île de la Cité by the Pont Saint-Louis.  

The island was first known as the Île Notre-Dame and was used mostly for grazing cattle, fishing, drying laundry, and occasionally for fighting duels. It was originally owned by the chapter of Notre-Dame cathedral.
