Square du Vert Galant
Ile de la Cité, 75001 Paris
The little Vert Galant Square is located at the western tip of the island. A small green space with a few trees, it makes for a charming viewpoint of the Seine and its banks, bridges and monuments. The imposing equestrian statue of Henri IV reminds visitors that it was he who first took the initiative to develop the western tip of the Ile de la Cité into a residential area.
