Quai de Béthune: Self-Guided Audio Tours

Île Saint-Louis is located in the heart of Paris, right in the middle of the Seine River – the smaller of the two neighboring islands. With this tour, you will learn that Île Saint-Louis is home to some of the most picturesque streets of the French capital, and the finest 17th-century architecture. Slowly walking by elegant mansions, you will enjoy a relaxed atmosphere that is usually so hard to find in the center of a bustling city. Our walk starts right at the Pont Marie bridge; you will make a full circle around the island and come to the starting point again. Sauntering along the Quai d'Anjou quay, you will see the charming Le Petit Théâtre de l'Île Saint-Louis and probably have a chance to peek into its little secret courtyard. And Hôtel de Coomans, also known as the Hôtel de Richelieu – does it have something in common with the cunning Cardinal Richelieu? Let's take a stroll and find out together.
