Allée des Cygnes, Pedestrian promenade on artificial island in Seine River, Paris, France.

The Allée des Cygnes extends for 890 meters along a narrow artificial island between the 15th and 16th districts of Paris, offering views of the Seine River.

Created in 1825 and reinforced with masonry in 1827, this artificial island originally served as a dock to improve navigation on the Seine throughout the year.

The southern tip of the island features a smaller version of the Statue of Liberty, installed in 1889, establishing a connection with its New York counterpart.

Visitors can access the promenade via three bridges: Pont de Grenelle, Pont Rouelle, and Pont de Bir-Hakeim, with several metro stations nearby for convenient transportation.

The island supports three distinct bridges while providing an unobstructed path for pedestrians to observe both banks of Paris and the Eiffel Tower.
