It was organized into three parts—the Ile de la Cite (an island in the Seine), the Right Bank, and the Left Bank—during the reign of Philippe-Auguste 1180–1223.

Paris depuis Notre-Dame
Paris est implantee sur la Seine ou se situent deux iles qui constituent le c?ur historique de la ville : l'ile de la Cite a l'ouest et l'ile Saint-Louis, a l'est. De la, la ville s'etend inegalement de part et d'autre du fleuve, la superficie occupee au nord sur la rive droite etant nettement superieure (environ deux fois) a celle sur la rive gauche, au sud.
Paris is the capital and primate city of France. Paris is located in the north-bending arc of the river Seine and includes two islands, the Ile Saint-Louis and the larger Ile de la Cite, which form the oldest part of the city.
Much of contemporary Paris is the result of the vast mid-nineteenth century urban remodelling. For centuries, the city had been a labyrinth of narrow streets and half-timber houses, but, beginning in 1852, the Baron Haussmann's urbanisation program involved leveling entire quarters to make way for wide avenues lined with neo-classical stone buildings of bourgeoisie standing.
