Quai Saint-Bernard, Riverfront promenade in 5th arrondissement, Paris, France
The quai Saint-Bernard is a riverfront promenade in Paris's 5th arrondissement, running approximately 767 meters along the Seine between two major bridges. The path spans 24 meters wide and borders the Tino-Rossi garden, with sports facilities and a police river station integrated into the site.
This riverfront takes its name from a former Bernardine convent that once stood in the area and the demolished medieval gate called Porte Saint-Bernard. Originally known as Vieux chemin d'Ivry, it was renamed to honor these lost structures and the neighborhood's past.
The Tino-Rossi garden stretches between the road and the river, displaying sculptures by contemporary artists that quietly shape the riverside walk. Visitors encounter these artworks as they stroll, adding a creative layer to the everyday path along the water.
The path is easy to walk along, with separate areas for pedestrians and vehicle traffic, making it safe and manageable for visitors of different abilities. You will find sports facilities available nearby, and the site is well-used by locals throughout the day.
In the 18th century, this waterfront served as a specialized wine port with storage facilities that held enormous quantities of wine for trade. This forgotten role reveals that the area was once a busy trading hub before becoming the recreational space it is today.
