Quai Louis-Blériot

Quai Louis-Blériot, Riverside walkway in 16th arrondissement, France

Quai Louis-Blériot runs 1,620 metres along the Seine in the 16th arrondissement, from 9 avenue de Versailles and 5 rue Maurice-Bourdet to 191 boulevard Murat. Its upper quay is lined mostly with residential buildings on the city side, while a low bank below carries the Georges-Pompidou road, cut from two lanes to one in 2016 and paired with a two-way cycle track. A stone inscription near the pont Mirabeau marks the Seine's level in the 1910 flood.

Originally called Quai d'Auteuil, it was renamed in 1937 to honor a French aviator who completed a historic flight across the English Channel. The name change reflected the city's recognition of aviation achievement during that era.

The quay's name honours aviator Louis Blériot, who lived from 1872 to 1936; it was renamed by a municipal decree of 10 February 1937, having previously been the quai d'Auteuil. At No. 7 a commemorative plaque marks where the poet Jules Supervielle lived between 1953 and 1960. Guillaume Apollinaire wrote of the quai d'Auteuil in Le Flâneur des deux rives (1918), recalling the riverside guinguettes Grand Neptune and Petit Neptune that had disappeared.

The quai is served by line 10 at Église d'Auteuil, Chardon-Lagache and Mirabeau stations. Traffic on the upper quai runs one way towards Paris, except a short two-way stretch between rue Van-Loo and rue Fantin-Latour. The lower Georges-Pompidou road was cut from two lanes to one in 2016 and is flanked by a two-way cycle track running south to the Paris boundary with Boulogne-Billancourt and north to rue Beethoven.

At the crossing with the Pont Mirabeau, below the quay on the Voie Georges-Pompidou, an inscription marks the level reached by the Seine in the 1910 flood. The quay was still called quai d'Auteuil when Apollinaire wrote in 1918 that few Parisians knew it and that it had not existed in 1909.
