Quai François-Mitterrand, Riverfront promenade in 1st arrondissement, Paris, France
The quai stretches along the Seine River for 710 meters, featuring a 22-meter wide pathway adjacent to the Louvre Palace walls.
The riverfront section formed from parts of Quai des Tuileries and Quai du Louvre received its current name in 2003 to honor President François Mitterrand.
The quai connects several architectural elements, including the Grande Galerie constructed between 1595 and 1609 to link the Louvre Palace with Tuileries Palace.
The one-way traffic flows from west to east, with designated pedestrian passages and multiple access points to the Pont Royal, Pont du Carrousel, and Pont des Arts.
Napoleon III's monogram replaced Henri IV's original markings during the 1861-1864 reconstruction, which created triple vehicle passages through the structure.
