Quai des Grands-Augustins, Riverfront walkway in 6th arrondissement, France.
The Quai des Grands-Augustins extends 354 meters along the Seine River, offering views of Notre-Dame Cathedral and connecting Pont Saint-Michel to Pont Neuf.
The construction of this quay, ordered by King Philippe to prevent flooding, marked the first riverbank development in Paris and was completed in 1389.
The Lapérouse restaurant at number 51 served as a meeting point for writers like Victor Hugo and became a central location for intellectual gatherings.
The 16-meter-wide path provides direct access to restaurants, bookshops, and cafes while connecting visitors to major transportation networks in central Paris.
In March 1944, Pablo Picasso's play premiered at number 53, featuring performances by Jean-Paul Sartre and directed by Albert Camus.
