Quai Charles-Pasqua, Riverfront promenade in Levallois-Perret, France.
Quai Charles-Pasqua is a riverfront road in Levallois-Perret that follows the Seine's small arm along the Île de la Jatte. It begins at Boulevard Bourdon, passes under the Michelet rail bridge, and ends at the Pont d'Asnières. The paved roadway has a broken white centre line, with a grass verge on one side and a row of trees and road signs on the other.
This riverside path was originally called Quai Michelet after the historian Jules Michelet, then received its current name in 2016 to honor French politician Charles Pasqua. The renaming reflected the area's evolution and changing local recognition.
The quai follows the route of the departmental road 1 and marks the boundary between Neuilly-sur-Seine and Levallois-Perret at a roundabout where the rue de Villiers, boulevard Victor-Hugo and avenue André-Malraux meet. The name honours Charles Pasqua (1927-2015), the French politician, and replaced the earlier name quai Jules-Michelet in 2016.
You can walk the full length on flat terrain with easy access from nearby streets and bridges. The best time to visit is during daylight when the path is busiest and feels safest.
The former octroi building at the corner of Rue de Villiers was shared by Neuilly-sur-Seine and Levallois-Perret, which explains its position right on the boundary marked by the roundabout where Rue de Villiers, Boulevard Victor-Hugo and Avenue André-Malraux meet. It was built in 1906 by Georges Guiard (1873-1942), the municipal architect of Neuilly.
