Quai Voltaire, Historic riverfront in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France.
The Quai Voltaire extends for 308 meters along the Seine River between Pont du Carrousel and Pont Royal, offering direct views of the Louvre Museum.
The street received its current name in 1791 to honor the French philosopher Voltaire, who died in 1778 at the residence of Marquis de Villette.
The riverfront houses numerous antique shops and art supply stores, including Sennelier, which supplied materials to painters Cézanne and Picasso since 1887.
Located in the 7th arrondissement, the 21-meter-wide quay connects Rue des Saints-Pères to Rue du Bac, forming part of the Paris road network.
The Hôtel de Bouillon on Quai Voltaire marks the location where Jean-François Boyvin attempted to fly from the roof in 1742.
