Ile Saint-Louis is a natural island in the Seine; it is a quiet, residential place that feels almost like a small village at the heart of the bustling city. A former cow pasture that was converted into a quartier during the reign of Louis XIII, many of its buildings date back to the 1600s. I love to sit at Le Saint-Regis and just watch the world go by… I can’t help but imagine how different the scenery must have been when Baudelaire, Marie Curie, Voltaire and Camille Claudel called the island home.
L’île Saint-Louis est un îlot naturel dans la Seine; c’est un endroit calme et paisible qui ressemble à un petit village au sein de la capitale. Anciennement une pâture pour vaches, l’île fut converti en quartier pendant le règne de Louis XII – la plupart de ses immeubles datent des années 1600. J’aime bien passer l’après-midi sur la terrasse au Café Saint-Régis, songeant aux vies des fameux résidents de l’île, y inclus Baudelaire, Marie Curie, Voltaire et Camille Claudel, pendant que je prends mon thé.
It's so beautiful! I wish I could sit there! HaHaHa I love the cafes and flower stands they have. Hope you're having a beautiful day Cee. http://www.averysweetblog.com/
How pretty! I feel like spending the afternoon there would be akin to stepping back in time, everything looks so quaint, and were those cars not on the streets perhaps you really could believe it for a moment.
Hi Cee! You have no idea how much love the serie of “Paris Diary” on your blog:) You always make me miss Paris and also make me want to be over there! What a place, you took such amazing photos, you really caught the natural atmosphere of the city!:) The flowers are very nice!:) Have a good day dear, bisous! xo
my goodness. Such stunning, breath taking images Cee. I saw a program the other day which was going through some beautiful French bakeries and I instantly thought of you and how lucky you are to be surrounded by so much (visual and food) delicious things in Paris. What a special time in your life. Beautiful moments, memories and stories to tell!xxx
mhh wonderful impressions!! wish i could be there too :> but i'm looking so forward to going to london next week!! thanks for your congrats :> i'm really happy about my graduation! freeeeedom! ;> let's see what future brings. wish you a wonderful day
I wonder if they recognized the place (and if so, if they liked it) if they could somehow come back. But they shouldn't, that would be too creepy.:D That first shot is art, I'd definitely put that on my wall!!
absolutely sensational shots Cee! (and Ian!!) i see no cow pasture remnants, only incredible architecture, color and style. dreaming of a long stroll along its waterways right now. yup, love it! ♥

One of my favorite places in Paris, as you said, perfect for just watching the world go by.
Les photos sont absolument fabuleuse ! j'adore 🙂
ça donne envie de monter à la capitale 😉
Bisous.
Wish I was there, preferably as we speak…. x
What a beautiful place – I'm a sucker for anything with buildings dating back to the 1600s…
