The experience
A 1,642-square-metre triangle of green at the western tip of the Île de la Cité, created in 1884 by joining two islets — the Île à la Gourdaine and Île aux Juifs — to the main island. The site is where Jacques de Molay and the last Knights Templar were burned in 1314, and it is planted with weeping willows at the water's edge. It has held the city's Espace Vert Écologique label since 2007.
Paris at barge-deck height: the Seine slides past at eye level on both sides of you.
