Paris 2020 (5 of 12) -- ile saint-louis

There are two natural islands in the Seine. Ile Saint-Louis has a narrow street of charming shops, restaurants, hotels, and a cathedral (under renovation in 2020).

Here's Notre Dame in the distance in this view crossing the bridge to the island...
 The banks of the island can be reached by staircases. They are popular places to stroll, and enjoy the view from a bench...

Ice cream counter interior side. I enjoyed a single scoop of the coffee flavor. The other side of the store has a small restaurant area with tables etc.
The river bank bench where I ate my ice cream. In February. That should give you a clue as to what a mild winter day it was...
Views of the main street corner on the island...
