6. The big island is called the Ile de la Cite.
7. The Notre Dame Cathedral and the Conciergerie prison are both there.
8. Started at the Bastille
9. It was demolished in 1789, I believe, and it's now called Place de la Bastille.
10. Montmartre
11. Saint Denis was the first, not Eudes as some people think.
12. La Rive Droite and La Rive Gauche

Hope it helps! 1) Etoile, the Arc de Triomphe; 脦le de la Cit茅, N么tre Dame; Seine River, the Bateaux; Louvre, Mona Lisa; D茅fense, Eiffel Tower.
2) Eiffel Tower. The top of it.
3) The Left Bank (Rive Gauche in French)
4) Le Sorbonne, right across the street from the pension I stayed in.
5) 1898, World's Fair, Gustave Eiffel (hence, the name).

8) At the Bastille Prison
9) No, they tore it down at the start of the revolution.
10) Sacre Coeur is in Montmartre. And it's not the Cathedral, that would be N么tre Dame. There can only be one in any city. Church rules.
