Quai Charles de Gaulle, Riverfront promenade in 6th arrondissement of Lyon, France
The Quai Charles de Gaulle extends for 1.9 kilometers along the left bank of the Rhône River, connecting the Raymond-Poincaré Bridge to the Winston-Churchill Bridge.
The quay, established in 1994, replaced the former Quai Achille-Lignon during the development of the Cité Internationale complex, marking a significant urban transformation.
The riverfront houses the Lyon Congress Center, Contemporary Art Museum, and Le Pharaon Casino, making it a center for exhibitions and entertainment.
The location provides direct access to public transportation networks and features multiple pedestrian paths connecting different sections of the 6th arrondissement.
The headquarters of Interpol, the International Criminal Police Organization, stands prominently among the modern buildings along this riverside thoroughfare.
