Quai de Valmy, Riverfront in 10th arrondissement of Paris, France
The Quai de Valmy runs alongside the Canal Saint-Martin with paved walkways that give direct access to the water in the northeastern part of the city. The waterside path stretches across a lengthy section and connects two different neighborhoods.
The quai was built in 1824 as part of Paris' urban development following the Napoleonic era. This period represented the city's push toward creating modern waterside infrastructure.
The name honors the Battle of Valmy, showing how France commemorates military events through street names in the city. You can feel this connection to the past as you walk along the canal.
The paved path accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists with sturdy surfaces that are easy to walk on. Access is open and free, with clear landmarks along the canal to help you find your way.
The waterside features iron footbridges and water locks that allow boats to move between different water levels on the canal. This practical engineering solution makes the canal a working waterway that visitors often pass by without noticing.
