Quai Kléber, Riverfront promenade in city center, Strasbourg, France

Quai Kléber runs along the outer north bank of the Faux-Rempart canal, from rue du Faubourg de Saverne to rue du Faubourg de Pierre in the Halles district. Its canal side is a wall of reddish-brown rectangular stone blocks topped by a paved walkway, with black metal light posts mounted on the parapet and a green metal railing on the inland side. Tram tracks of lines A and D run along the quay.

The waterfront was created in 1845 as Quai de l'Esprit and received its present name in 1918 to honor General Jean-Baptiste Kléber, a Strasbourg native born in 1753. This renaming celebrated a military figure with strong local roots.

The square de l'Ancienne Synagogue occupies the site of the synagogue built in 1896-1898, burned by the Nazis in 1940 and dynamited in 1941. The community rebuilt it in 1958 in the Contades district as the Grande synagogue de la Paix. Along the quay, the allée des Justes parmi les Nations has a low wall bearing photographs of the old synagogue and monuments honouring the Alsatian Righteous.

Road traffic runs east to west; at rue de Sébastopol and pont de Paris only buses may continue onto the quay, and other vehicles must turn right into rue de Sébastopol. Beyond that point vehicles use a short tunnel built in 1994 that passes under the parvis Kléber, the pedestrian forecourt between the Place des Halles buildings, the Ancienne Synagogue / Les Halles stop and the pont du Marché. Trams A and D stop at Ancienne Synagogue / Les Halles before the line goes underground, and bus 6 serves the Pont de Pierre and Pont de Paris / Les Halles stops.

Several buildings along the quay date back to the 1800s, with the structure at number 6 from 1842 preserving elements from an earlier building constructed in 1765. These layered time periods show how the neighborhood changed over decades.
