Quai de la Seine, Riverfront district in 19th arrondissement, Paris, France
Description
The Quai de la Seine is a waterfront path along the Bassin de la Villette lined with mature linden and wingnut trees that provide shade. The walkway stretches for 850 meters with sandy areas for playing petanque and wide spaces for strolling and sitting by the water.
History
The waterfront path began as a departmental road in 1829 and received its current name in 1857. It became part of Paris's official street system in 1863 and has remained a key feature of the neighborhood since then.
Culture
The waterfront serves as a neighborhood gathering place where people come to walk, jog, and spend time by the water. Local cafés and the cinema create meeting points that draw residents and visitors to explore the promenade throughout the day.
Practical
The walkway is easily accessible on foot and well-connected by metro stations Stalingrad, Riquet, and Crimée nearby. The wide path is flat and shaded by trees, making it comfortable for walking at any time of day.
Did you know?
At number 33, fashion designer André Courrèges created a building with a bold entrance shaped like an inverted V that stands out along the waterfront. This striking structure dates to the 1970s and remains a distinctive architectural detail that catches the eye of passersby.
