Quai d'Ivry, Riverfront passage in 13th arrondissement, France
The Quai d'Ivry is a waterfront path extending roughly 340 meters along the Seine and connecting Rue Bruneseau with Pont National. The quay is about 36 meters wide and lined with modern buildings typical of inner Paris urban development.
The quay takes its name from the neighboring Ivry-sur-Seine, which Paris incorporated in 1929 and gave its name to this area. The current form of the quay developed later through construction of the Paris ring road in the 1970s, which significantly altered the original riverfront layout.
Modern residential and office buildings define the waterfront character today, showing how this section was redesigned during the late 20th century. The wide quay and ordered street layout convey a sense of planned urban development.
The quay has a dedicated bicycle path running its full length, offering cyclists a safe route. The surface is flat and even, making it easy to walk or bike for visitors of all ages.
Many visitors overlook that this quay is a popular spot for joggers and skateboarders who use the flat, wide surface. The quiet waterside contrasts sharply with the busy traffic on the streets above.
