The Bastille
Built around 1370, was once part of the defenses of Paris. Louis XIV had the wall demolished but left the Bastille, which later became a luxury prison for aristocratic and notable people who could have goods and services sent in. The Marquis de Sade was a prisoner here as were Mirabeau and Voltaire. It was stormed on 14 July 1789, but at that time there were only seven prisoners. It was later razed and replaced in 1831 by the column, called the July Column, now standing surmounted by the "Spirit of Liberty". In Place Henri Galli can be found a commemorative pile of stones from the original Bastille.

Place des Vosges
Place des Vosges, built by Henri IV and completed in 1612, it is known as the most beautiful square in Europe. It is noted for its picturesque streets, boutiques, galleries, and beautifully restored 16th & 18th century "hôtels particuliers". Madam de Seveigne was born at #1 bis, #21 is where Richelieu lived and #6 was Victor Hugo’s residence, now a museum to him

Ile St-Louis
Ile St-Louis with its aristocratic town houses, courtyards, and antique shops is home to dozens of 17th century mansions and 6,000 lucky ‘louisiens’, its permanent residents. Voltaire found it "the second best" address in all the world, citing the straits of the Bosphorus separating Europe from Asia as number one. Berthillon the famous and popular ice-cream store is located at 31 Rue St-Louis-en-l’Ile.

Village Saint Paul
This is an antique enclave with 80 antique dealers. It is open from Thursday to Monday from 10:00 to 7:00.
