Quai d'Orsay

The Quai d'Orsay extends 1,270 meters along the Seine River's left bank, featuring wide pedestrian paths and vehicle lanes with views of central Paris landmarks.

Construction of this Seine riverbank began in 1705, evolving from a simple embankment into a major transportation route connecting eastern and western sections of Paris.

The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, constructed between 1844 and 1855, stands at number 37 with sculptural decorations by Henri de Triqueti on its facade.

Multiple bus lines and the Solférino metro station provide direct access to the riverfront, while nearby parking facilities accommodate vehicles near major institutions.

The American Church in Paris, established at number 65 in 1931, remains the first American church founded outside the United States.
