Paris originated on the Ile de la Cité in the middle of the Seine. In the 3rd century BC. the tribe of the parisians settled here. In 52 the settlement was conquered by the Romans, and in the 5th century by the Franks. The city, named Lutetia, developed and became a crossroads of important trade routes. Gradually the name Lutetia disappeared from everyday life, it was replaced by the name "city of parisians", which soon transformed into Paris. Over time, the city went beyond the borders of the Ile de la Cité, people settled on the banks of the Seine, occupied the hills closest to it. Now from the medieval buildings of the eastern part of the Cité, only the Notre-Dame Cathedral has survived.

The vaults of the building are supported by the columns of the Corinthian order. There are no window openings in the walls. They are replaced by maruflé canvases glued to stone walls. The pictorial cycle, created by Puvis de Chavante and Laurent, is dedicated to Saint Genevieve.
