Quai Henri-IV

Quai Henri-IV is a 500-meter riverfront promenade along the Seine in the 4th arrondissement, accommodating both pedestrians and vehicles. The 20-meter-wide structure runs directly alongside the water and allows views of buildings and architecture on both banks.

Construction of this quay began in 1843 on land reclaimed from the former Île Louviers and received its official name in 1844. This project transformed the former Arsenal area into a proper riverside thoroughfare.

This riverfront stretch carries a royal name and connects two distinct neighborhoods within the city. Residents and visitors use this space for walks and to experience the river's presence in their daily surroundings.

This location is easily accessible by Line 7 metro at Sully-Morland station nearby. The wide space makes for comfortable walking and provides enough room for various activities along the waterfront.

Number 38 once housed the former headquarters of a company renowned for enamel work that gained international attention in the 1920s. This building stands as a reminder of Paris's industrial craftsmanship heritage.
