Quai de Montebello, Riverfront in 5th arrondissement, France
Quai de Montebello is a waterfront path along the Seine in Paris with direct views of Notre-Dame Cathedral. The roughly 300-meter-long and 15-meter-wide walkway connects different streets of the Latin Quarter and functions as a pedestrian zone facing the river.
This riverfront was established in 1811 as Quai Saint-Michel and renamed in 1843 to honor Jean Lannes, Duke of Montebello. The renaming reflected France's recognition of this Napoleonic-era military figure.
This riverbank path runs through the Latin Quarter, where students and thinkers have walked for centuries. People use it daily to move between universities and the Seine, creating an environment shaped by intellectual life.
The pedestrian path is about 15 meters wide and offers multiple access points between neighboring streets, making it easy to reach. The area connects to public transportation and is open to pedestrians throughout the day.
A German aircraft dropped a bomb near this location in 1918 during World War I, leaving a mark on Parisian wartime history. This moment connects the place to the larger conflicts that shaped the city during that period.
