What to do and see in Saint Victor, Ile-de-France: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Located within jardin di rossi, (along the seine), is this rather impressive (free). Open air sculpture park, it was quite fun during a leisurely walk, seeking out the many sculptures, from there it is just a short hop to Jardin des Plantes.

Visites guidées gratuites les samedis et dimanches à 15h30 (en période de vacances se renseigner). Église de style baroque-classique (XVII°), sur l’emplacement d’une église (XIII°-XV°) dont il reste le clocher (1625). Œuvres remarquables à ne pas manquer : le tombeau de Le Brun et de sa mère, des tableaux du peintre de Louis XIV, de Corot et de Restout. Église caractéristique de l’art de la Contre-réforme, issu du concile de Trente (XVI°), face au protestantisme : autel du Sacrifice de la Messe mis en valeur, chapelle dédiée à la Sainte Communion, une autre à la Sainte Vierge qui s'aperçoit dès l’entrée de l’église et une chaire au milieu de la nef. Cette paroisse s’illustra par son Séminaire (fondé en 1612), mais aussi par son clergé, luttant contre le jansénisme, le gallicanisme et le modernisme (dès le début du XX°). La messe et la doctrine traditionnelle y sont conservées.

Pont de Sully is a nice long metal bridge, crossing the River Seine, over the bottom "nose" of Ile Saint Louis. We walked the length of it, only once, and loved the views. It is a great spot from where you can enjoy lots of amazing views, particularly of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Over the years, I've passed this enclosed square in the 5th Arrondissement at the corner of rue des Ecoles and rue Monge many times but never had time to go in. On my most recent Paris visit, I stayed nearby and decided to stop here early one morning. I found a lovely green space -- about 1 acre -- bordered by magnificent magnolias. Other trees include sycamore, ash and walnut. A large marble statue of 15th-century poet Francois Villon stands on the lush green grass, and an 18th-century fountain provides another focal point. A woman sat on one of the many benches, drinking a cup of coffee, and gave me a pleasant nod. The only other person I saw at this time was a homeless man, sitting quietly at the back of the square, which borders the Ecole Polytechnique. I think that the square's nice playground for children 2 to 10 likely brings in more visitors later in the day. Public toilets are available. This square honors physicist Paul-Langevin (1872-1946) and opened in 1868. It looks like the perfect place for a respite from sightseeing.
