Quai des Carrières, Riverfront in Charenton-le-Pont, France.

The Quai des Carrières extends from Avenue de la Liberté to the Charenton Bridge, running parallel to the A4 motorway along the Seine River.

The area gained its name from stone quarries operating until the 19th century, which provided materials for Notre-Dame Cathedral and Vincennes Castle.

The location features in Georges Simenon's novel 'Lock No. 1', depicting the life of bargemen along the Seine River in the early 20th century.

The street connects to both Quai de Bercy and Quai de Charenton, providing access to the waterfront and residential areas of Charenton-le-Pont.

Social housing complexes built in 1935 replaced the former gardens of Château de Conflans and a seminary established in 1653.
