Located at the western tip of the <strong>Ile de la Cit\u00e9<\/strong>, this park is the most intimate viewpoint of the city. Named in honor of King <strong>Henri IV<\/strong>, it is a space where the river physically divides to embrace the historic center, offering the sensation of being on the bow of a large stone ship.","description_body":"Your adventure begins by descending the elegant stone stairs behind the statue of <strong>Henri IV<\/strong> on the <strong>Pont Neuf<\/strong>. As you go down, the noise of the traffic disappears, replaced by the sound of the water. Walk to the end of the triangle, surrounded by weeping willows whose branches touch the river. This is the classic setting for the Parisian <i>ap\u00e9ro<\/i>: we suggest bringing wine and cheese to enjoy on the stone wall inches from the water. From this low perspective, you'll get a close look at the sculpted figureheads on the bridge as the <i>Bateaux Mouches<\/i> pass so close you could wave at them.","audio_guide_en":"","audio_guide_es":"","audio_guide_duration":"","image_2":5827,"image_3":5829,"image_4":5831,"image_5":5833,"origin_point":"48.85720, 2.34000","curated_waypoints":"48.85750, 2.34100","destination_point":"48.85720, 2.34000","latitude_start":"48.85720","longitude_start":"2.34000","golden_spot_lat":"48.85720","golden_spot_lng":"2.34000","golden_spot_tips":"The <strong>extreme tip<\/strong> of the park, looking towards the <strong>Pont des Arts<\/strong>.
