Quai des Carrières, Riverfront in Charenton-le-Pont, France.
The Quai des Carrières runs from Avenue de la Liberté to Charenton Bridge, forming a waterfront street that lines the Seine through a residential neighborhood. The route connects access points to the river with the surrounding districts and apartment complexes.
The area takes its name from stone quarries that operated until the 1800s and supplied stone for major structures including Notre-Dame Cathedral. A seminary occupied the site in the 1600s before residential housing developments replaced it in the 1930s.
The location appears in Georges Simenon's novel 'Lock No. 1', which portrays bargemen working the Seine in the early 1900s.
The waterfront is easily walkable and offers direct river access alongside residential pathways. Visitors benefit from exploring on foot to discover the connection between street level and the water's edge.
Modern apartment blocks now occupy what were once gardens belonging to the nearby Chateau de Conflans. This replacement shows how the neighborhood shifted from countryside to urban development.
