A Preview
"Welcome to the Île Saint-Louis. One main street, seventeenth-century townhouses, and — by design — no monuments, no museums, no big attractions at all. This island's job, for four hundred years, has been to be a nice place to live. It is extremely good at its job. Until the early sixteen hundreds, this wasn't even one island. It was two — and one of them was called the Île aux Vaches. Cow Island."
