Quai des Célestins, Riverfront in 4th arrondissement of Paris, France
The Quai des Célestins is a public riverbank along the right side of the Seine in Paris's 4th arrondissement. The space offers room to walk and direct access to shops, cafes, and river views.
The name comes from a Celestine convent founded in the 14th century at this location. The area was later transformed and developed into the public riverbank path we see today.
This riverbank has long been a gathering place where people stroll, sit, and watch the life on the water. Today restaurants and cafes shape the scene and invite visitors to linger.
The riverbank is easy to reach from several metro stations and has plenty of space to walk and rest. Benches and wide pathways make for comfortable strolling along the Seine.
This spot offers surprisingly quiet moments between Paris's busier centers and gives visitors time to focus on the river. Many people overlook this stretch of the Seine while visiting the more famous bridges and islands further west.
