Summary
Join Us in France Travel Podcast
In this episode Elyse tells us about Ile de la Cité, the place where Paris was born. We explain why you should take a stroll and enjoy the beautiful and romantic Ile de la Cité in Paris. We suggest you listen to this episode while on your Paris walk around the Ile de la Cite. You could also visit the Crypt on the Parvis de Notre Dame, or the visit the Conciergerie where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned, or maybe walk up the tower of Notre Dame and look for a very famous hunchback? You should definitely enjoy a relaxing moment in one of the many Brasseries on Ile de la Cité. Even if you only have two hours in Paris, you must go there!
