In 1937, the City of Paris introduced a cultural impetus to redesign the traditional look of Paris. The Stravinsky fountain is an interpretation of Igor Stravinsky’s work, The Rite of Spring, by Jean Tinguely and his wife Niki de Saint Phalle. The Dadaist style fountain beside the Centre Pompidou displays the distinctive vision of the couple: his monochromatic lines acting as a contrast to her colorful and childlike symbolism.
This lovely church, in addition to its role as a religious sanctuary, serves as a musical mecca. Classically trained musicians make there way here from the far corners of the region to ply their trades - be it violin, viola or otherwise.
Île de la Cité's is one of two natural islands located within the city of Paris. This island is entirely shaped by the Seine River and located in the heart of the city.

It has been inhabited ever since by the likes of Romans, Merovingians, and contemporary French citizens. Visitors will find some of the city's most recognizable monument on the isle, including Notre-Dame, La Place Dauphine and Sainte Chapelle, to name only a few.
