Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Exploring the Île De La Cité...
Île De La Cité is is one of the highlights for anyone exploring Paris.
It’s one of two small boat-shaped islands in the middle of the Seine River (the other is Île Saint Louis). Despite its tiny size, some of Paris’ most famous landmark sights are located here. The star attraction of course is the newly restored Notre Dame Cathedral.
Other sights include the 13th-century Saint-Chapelle with its dazzling stained glass windows, the Conciergerie where Marie Antoinette awaited execution in 1793, the Palais De Justice, and the Tour De L’Horloge.
Several bridges connect the island to the mainland. We crossed via Pont Saint-Michel which brought us directly to Saint-Chapelle and the Conciergerie.
If like us, you haven’t already pre-booked tickets for Saint Chapelle, you’ll be stuck looking from the outside only and, unlike Notre Dame, you can’t see much of Sainte Chapelle from the outside.
The Île De La Cité is one of those delightful places to stroll. Some of the most scenic views are from the bridges. From any one of them, you get beautiful views of the river and the historic architecture lining the water’s edge.
Historic Pont Neuf is particularly lovely and is Paris’ oldest bridge.

Artificial island
Ile des Cygnes is an artificial island in the River Seine. It was created in 1827. Three bridges cross the island. There is also a pathway that runs the length of the island. We did not visit it, but only viewed it from the top of the Eiffel Tower.
