The feel of the district
From the bustling shops of Les Halles to the wealthy clientele of the rue Saint-Honoré, by way of the Louvre, the Palais-Royal, the Tuileries garden and the place Vendôme, this is surely one of the richest arrondissements in the capital. Rich above all in history (it is home to the Conciergerie and the Sainte-Chapelle), and best discovered through its many covered passages and galleries.
There are magnificent urban sights to admire, such as the Pont des Arts, the tip of the Île de la Cité below the Pont-Neuf and the church of Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois.
