The Île de la Cité market (4th arrondissement) will be extensively renovated and made pedestrianized by 2028. During her last state visit to France, in June 2014, the Queen of England was hand-delivered a bouquet of her favorite roses, Pierre de Ronsard.
Elizabeth II, who had already fallen under the spell of the flower market on her first visit to Paris in 1948, even gave it her name that day. Because although it retains this picturesque appearance which attracts many tourists and Parisians, the place has faded somewhat over the years.
