Quai d'Orléans, Historic riverfront in 4th arrondissement, France.

The Quai d'Orléans extends for 275 meters along the Seine River on the southern edge of Île Saint-Louis, connecting Pont de la Tournelle to Pont Saint-Louis.

Established in 1614, this riverfront pathway changed its name to Quai de l'Égalité during the French Revolution from 1792 to 1806, reflecting the period's political changes.

The Polish Library of Paris at number 6 has operated since 1854, housing the Adam Mickiewicz Museum and preserving Polish literary heritage in France.

The riverfront pathway measures 7.6 meters wide and provides pedestrian access to multiple 17th-century mansions, with Metro Line 7 stopping at nearby Pont Marie station.

The residences at numbers 28, 30, and 32, built in 1663 by Marcelin Arnaud, feature facades registered as historical monuments of France.
