Quai des Orfèvres, Riverfront street in Île de la Cité, Paris, France
The Quai des Orfèvres stretches for 366 meters along the Seine River, connecting the Saint-Michel Bridge to the central platform of Pont Neuf.
During medieval times, the street became a center for goldsmiths and jewelers who established their workshops and stores between 1580 and 1643.
The street name inspired a prestigious French literary prize, awarded annually since 1946 by a jury of police officers and magistrates.
The location provides direct access to multiple transportation options and walking paths along the Seine, with several bridges connecting to both river banks.
The street resulted from merging two separate paths in 1810, divided by the former Jerusalem Street which disappeared in 1883.
