Promenade des Berges de la Seine, promenade de Rueil-Malmaison
The Promenade des Berges de la Seine is a walking path that runs along the riverbank in Rueil-Malmaison, connecting different landscapes. The route passes through maintained parks with pergolas and flower beds, past water basins with water lilies, and alongside industrial zones with storage tanks.
The path emerged as part of the region's industrial development, with the area long serving as a manufacturing zone. Today's promenade bridges this working history with modern parks and urban renewal projects.
The promenade's name references its location along the Seine, a river central to the region's identity. You can observe how people spend time here on good weather days, sitting on benches, picnicking, and enjoying proximity to the water.
The walk lasts roughly an hour and a half and connects Rueil-Malmaison and Nanterre-Ville train stations via easily traversable paths. The routes are paved or gravel-based, with numerous benches for rest and good spots for photography.
Sections of the walk pass industrial facilities still in operation, with storage tanks and cranes that speak to the region's past. This contrast between working installations and peaceful parks makes the route unusual and memorable.
