Esplanade Henri-de-France

The Esplanade Henri-de-France is a public square in the 15th arrondissement of Paris that stretches from Boulevard du Général-Martial-Valin to the Javel area near the Seine. The platform was built over the RER C railway line, creating an open urban space with modern design and wide pedestrian pathways.

The square was named in 1996 to honor Henri de France, a French engineer who made pioneering contributions to television technology. The site's design reflects the importance of innovation in both technology and urban development during the mid-20th century.

The esplanade forms part of the Javel neighborhood's social fabric, where residents gather for community activities and local celebrations throughout the year.

The square is easily accessible with wide, level spaces for walking and resting. Its proximity to the Seine and bus stops makes it simple to reach and navigate the surrounding area.

The esplanade was built with an innovative solution that completely covers the train traffic running beneath it. Visitors walking across the square rarely realize that trains are passing directly underneath.
