Quai Turenne, Riverfront promenade in central Nantes, France.

The paved walkway stretches along the former Loire River branch, featuring grassy areas and trees that line the pedestrian path.

The quay received its name from Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, Viscount of Turenne, a Marshal of France who died in the Battle of Salzbach in 1675.

The promenade connects to several protected heritage buildings, including the Hotel de La Villestreux and the Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours chapel at number 18.

The area transformed from a vehicle route to a dedicated space for pedestrians and cyclists, with elevated walkways connecting to Boulevard Jean-Philippot.

During the 1920s and 1930s, the traditional quay underwent modifications when the Hospital branch of the Loire River was filled to create this urban space.
