Quai du Louvre, Riverfront section in 1st arrondissement, France
The quai du Louvre stretches 80 meters along the Seine River, featuring wide pathways and gardens adjacent to the museum complex.
During the French Revolution, this riverside path changed its name to Quai du Museum, later combining three separate quays in 1868.
The location inspired Claude Monet to create a painting titled 'Quai du Louvre' in 1867, depicting daily life along the Seine.
Visitors can access the area through Pont-Neuf metro station on line 7, connecting to major Paris landmarks and the Tuileries Garden.
The first dedicated bus lane in Paris was established on this riverfront section in 1964, marking a change in urban transportation.
