Quai Tilsitt, Riverside promenade in 2nd arrondissement, Lyon, France
The quay extends from Bonaparte Bridge to the former Ainay Bridge, featuring concrete slabs that line the narrow waterfront path along the Saône River.
The quay received its name to commemorate the Peace of Tilsitt, signed between Russian Tsar Alexander I and Napoleon Bonaparte on July 7, 1807.
Two 18th-century houses between Rue du Plat and the quay are designated historical monuments, representing the architectural heritage of that period.
Multiple staircases and ramps provide access to different levels of the quay, connecting the waterfront with the upper street level.
A plaque marks the spot where Thomas Jefferson crossed the Saône via Ainay Bridge during his visit in March 1787.
