Paris once had far more islands than the few we see today on the Seine. In this video, we explore the lost islands of Paris, from Île Louviers and Île Notre Dame to Île Maquerelle and Île aux Juifs. Uncovering how they vanished into the modern city. Through old maps, and on-location footage, we discover the hidden geography of medieval Paris.
