Which city is island site because Notre Dame Cathedral sits on an island in the Seine?

• A. Hong Kong, China
• B. Singapore
• C. Paris, France
• D. Istanbul, Turkey

Answer: (C)

Notre Dame Cathedral sits on an island in the Seine, which ties the landmark to Paris. In Paris, the river Seine flows through the city and Notre Dame sits on Île de la Cité, an island in the middle of the Seine. That island-location is a hallmark of Paris, France. The other cities listed are in different regions and do not host Notre Dame on a Seine island—Hong Kong and Singapore are separate island-city contexts, and Istanbul sits on the Bosporus, not on the Seine. So Paris is the city described.
