History of Paris:

Paris has a history of more than 2000 years, which originated from Dai Xi Island. It is said that there were only a few hundred residents at that time, living on the old city island of less than half a square kilometer.

In the 4th century AD, a Roman tribe occupied the Gaul village on the island and established the capital of Parisians, hence the name Paris.

From the 6th century AD, Paris became the capital of the Kingdom of France, and all the feudal dynasties in France took Paris as their capital.

King Philip Auguste ordered the construction of city walls and fortifications, and the population of Dai Xi Island increased continuously, becoming the power center of the kingdom. Trade and handicraft workshops in the city gradually concentrated on the right bank of the Seine, and the market began to form. Educators, academics and religious people mostly live on the left bank of the Seine.
