Promenade Édouard-Glissant, promenade of Paris

Promenade Édouard-Glissant is a walkway of the Solférino port in the 7th arrondissement, running from the Pont Royal to the Passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor at the level of Quai Anatole-France and Rue de la Légion-d'Honneur. It gives access to the Musée d'Orsay and faces the Quai Aimé-Césaire and the Tuileries Garden on the opposite bank.

The promenade was inaugurated on 21 September 2021, the anniversary of Édouard Glissant's birth. A street in the 20th arrondissement had previously carried his name, but the redevelopment of Porte de Montreuil was to make it disappear, so the name was transferred to this new Seine-side walkway.

The promenade bears the name of Édouard Glissant (1928–2011), the Martinican writer, poet and philosopher. A street in the 20th arrondissement had carried his name, but the redevelopment of the Porte de Montreuil was to make it disappear, so the name was transferred to this new Seine-side walkway. The choice of date underlines the tribute: the inauguration on 21 September 2021 fell on the anniversary of his birth.

The walkway runs from the Pont Royal to the Passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor, along the Quai Anatole-France at the Rue de la Légion-d'Honneur, and gives access to the Musée d'Orsay. It is served by metro line 12 at Solférino station and by RER line C at the Musée d'Orsay station. Across the Seine are the Quai Aimé-Césaire and the Jardin des Tuileries.

The name was transferred from a street in the 20th arrondissement: the old rue Édouard-Glissant, near porte de Montreuil, was due to disappear in a redevelopment, so the city gave the name to this new Seine-side walkway instead.
