In front of the importance of Paris, on the political level, financier and trader, king wishes to keep the control of Paris, he grants middle-class person's privileges of king and grants favors to the Hanse of the traders of the water which is so imperative with other corporations as a political power. He obtains from this fact a head office, the visiting room of the traders, a commercial court and the right to raise the tax. In 1258, Saint-Louis removes the provostship of the hands of the traders and confides it to a close relation, Étienne Boileau. In 1263, the Hanse of the traders elects a first municipality compound of a provost of the traders, whose name we ignore.

 This powerful corporation of Nautes or the Traders of the water possesses skills limited to the commercial domain and was a holder of the monopoly of the supply by waterway. The provost of the traders, assisted by four aldermen, took care of the supply of the city, the public works, the plate of the taxes and had the jurisdiction on the river business. In the Middle Ages, the traders trained an association and had given themselves a regulation which they discussed in the visiting room of the traders and which they asked a provost to make apply.

It is surmounted by a wall golden crown in five towers, and framed in right hand of a branch of oak and in sénestre of one of laurel. The currency is classically registered down. The blazon of Paris, under its current shape, date of 1358, time when king Charles V gave the leader sowed with flowers of lily. A nef, or a vessel, appear to have been of any time the symbol of the corporation of the traders of the water, which gave then birth to the municipality of Paris. It was necessary to wait for the First Empire so that cities are again officially authorized to be equipped with coats of arms. We find himit on numerous Parisian public equipments, among which the city hall, the city halls of district, the Parisian stations, bridges, schools and Parisian schools, fountains Wallace, theatre publicity displays and the other Parisian urban furnitures.

The heart of Paris lies across the bridge, because the city was indeed founded on Ile de la Cité. 'Lutetia', the old name of Paris, is Celtic for 'dwelling in the middle of the waters'. The island was the kings' residence under the fourteenth century. They built two Gothic masterpieces (Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle), their palace (now the law courts), a hospital (Hôtel-Dieu) and a barracks that has become the Prefecture de Police.

The first royal statue restored in bets, after the Revolution and the Empire, was the one of Henri IV, chosen because of the affection which a majority of the population carried to the founder of the dynasty of Bourbons.

Begun some time after 1239 and consecrated on the 26th of April 1248, the Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture. Although damaged during the French revolution and heavily restored in the 19th century, it retains one of the most extensive in-situ collections of 13th century stained glass anywhere in the world.

And finally Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and all their friends who held forth while Boris Vian played and Juliette Gréco sang in the cellars. Those are the intellectual roots of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. But is there anything left? Even though the galleries and bookshops are holding out, ready-to-wear is elbowing out ready-to-think. But if you forget the flashy window displays and explore the little streets around rue de Buci, where the market is held, or the quays (the oldest being Quai des Grands-Augustins that dates back to 1313), you'll find liveliness and artists who still breathe.
