After the year 1000, the Capetian kings built a first Royal Palace (which became the current Palace of Justice). The bishops of Paris built Notre-Dame Cathedral. From that moment on, the Ile de la Cité was no longer sufficient to accommodate all the inhabitants. They then established themselves on the island of Saint Louis and on both banks of the Seine. We pass in front of the island and on both banks
