Quai Gallieni, Riverfront promenade in Suresnes, France.
Quai Gallieni is a riverfront walkway along the Seine in Suresnes with steps and access points to the water below the main level. The promenade connects different areas of the town center and provides direct contact with the river landscape.
The waterfront was previously known as Quai Bourbon, Royal, and Imperial before receiving its current name in 1916 to honor General Joseph Gallieni. This renaming recognized an important French military leader.
The promenade serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors walk, sit on benches, and observe the river activity throughout the day. The pathways connect different neighborhoods and invite people to experience daily life between the water and urban surroundings.
The waterfront is easily reached by public transportation and parking is available, with access from several entry points in the town center. The best time to walk here is during drier months when the steps and pathways are more pleasant to use.
Nearby sits the Village Anglais, a residential complex featuring Norman-English style buildings dating to 1923 situated right along the riverbank. This unusual architecture creates a small corner of England within the French landscape.
