Quai du Point-du-Jour

Quai du Point-du-Jour, Riverfront in Boulogne-Billancourt, France.

Quai du Point-du-Jour is a waterfront promenade that runs for about half a kilometer alongside the Seine in this suburb west of Paris. The path links two main areas and passes a series of residential buildings facing the river.

The quay follows the line of Billancourt's former towpath, along which horses hauled barges on the Seine. On 29 June 1892 the municipal council gave it the name Quai du Point-du-Jour, borrowed from a lieudit that also named a gate of Paris in the 16th arrondissement, though the quay does not cross that district. On 29 June 1918, exactly 26 years later, aircraft raided the quay and the avenue des Moulineaux, now avenue Pierre-Grenier.

The name comes from the Point-du-Jour lieu-dit, which also named a gate of Paris in the 16th arrondissement, although the quay does not cross that district. The low-cost housing group built in 1932 by Joseph Bassompierre, Paul de Rutté and Paul Sirvin was rehabilitated between 1992 and 1996 by Patrick Magendie. The quay is also home to many media companies.

The promenade offers good access to Marcel Sembat metro station on Line 9, making it easy to reach other parts of Paris. The path is flat and pleasant for walking, especially with views of the river.

The quay follows the line of Billancourt's old towpath, where horses hauled barges along the Seine; it was not a loading path. The municipal council gave it the name Quai du Point-du-Jour on 29 June 1892, although the quay does not cross the Point-du-Jour district itself, which lies by the Porte du Point-du-Jour in Paris's 16th arrondissement.
