Quai du Point-du-Jour

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 location received its current name in 1892 following a municipal decision to rename it. During World War I, the area came under aerial bombardment, which marked a turning point in the neighborhood's modern development.

The residential buildings here were designed by notable architects and reflect the design approach of the early 20th century. Their presence shapes how the waterfront feels and looks when you walk along it.

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 area was previously known by a different name that referred to its original function as a loading path along the river. This renaming reflects how the purpose and meaning of the location changed over time.
