Quai de l'Hôtel-de-Ville

The quai de l'Hôtel-de-Ville extends for 535 meters along the Seine River, featuring a 32-meter-wide pathway bordered by historic buildings.

Originally named quai de la Grève in the 15th century, this thoroughfare served as a critical port for wine, coal, and wheat transportation into Paris.

The riverfront path connects to Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, which hosted municipal celebrations and royal family events from the 16th to 19th centuries.

Metro access is available via line 7 at Pont Marie station and lines 1 and 11 at Hôtel-de-Ville station along the riverfront path.

Historical water level marks from Seine River floods remain visible on the facade of an 1817 building along the quay.
