Place Dauphine (Prince’s Square) appeared on the Ile de la Cité also by decision of Henry IV in 1607. He connected the island to the coast with the New Bridge, which, according to the idea, was supposed to go out onto the square arranged at the arrow itself. And Henry dedicated the square itself to his son, the future Louis XIII the Just. The name of the Dauphin square is connected with this. The French called the heirs of kings dauphins. Note the Renaissance façades of these red brick houses adorned with light sandstone. Some of them have not undergone reconstruction and have survived almost in their original form – for example, the houses that frame the exit to the New Bridge. It was these houses that surrounded the square at the very beginning of the 17th century. Today this cozy, chestnut-planted place on the western tip of the island of Site is appreciated by romantics, lovers and connoisseurs of quiet, non-touristy places.
