Fundamental to the development of Paris, the River Seine, with its beautiful bridges and pleasant banks, is the authentic postcard of the city. Along its waters we can witness the history and progress of the capital.

The setting for several films, exhibitions, cultural and leisure activities, in addition to the stunning landscape, its surroundings are a charming place for tourists and residents, who regain it every day.

 MARGINS 

Do you want to take a walk, or who knows, stroll around like a Parisian?

                             So let's go to the margins...

THE  RIGHT BANK     was delivered in the summer of 2012 and  for a while

pedestrians share the area with automobiles;  already the LEFT MARGIN 

with the project completed in June 2013,  totally focused on leisure, sport, culture and nature, it belongs to pedestrians, cyclists, skaters, skaters...

 

The banks of the River Seine have been classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1991.

With the tremendous success of the transformation of the left bank (Rive Gauche) , a new change is underway on the right bank (Rive Droite) , in a declared vision of a sustainable city. Locals and tourists alike. ..

In a project as creative as it is daring, the LEFT MARGIN 

  of the Seine was completely renovated along the 2.3 km route that stretches from the steps of the Musée D'Orsay to the Musée du Quai Branly.  The area comprises the

Port  de Solferino, the Port des Invalides and the Port du Gros Caillou.

The stretch hosts exhibitions, shows, performances, workshops, places for physical activities and places to relax. All this brings together, democratically, public of all ages.

Several restaurants and bars liven up the place (some are moored barges).

For all tastes and pockets, such as Rosa Banheur, Flow, Le Quai, Bistrot Alexandre III, Le Faust, Food Breizh, MOZZA&CO among others.

For the little ones, tents (tipis) with games can be rented on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Up to 10 children can fit.

Toys and drawings on the floor for games and races also attract older people.

Containers were widely used for restaurants, toilets, places of relaxation,  games or games

There are “velibs” along the way, where you can rent bikes of various types and sizes.

The asphalt path is great for walking or cycling and along the way, several gym equipment have been installed.

Various classes - such as yoga, gymnastics, pilates, tai chi - are offered free of charge.  Times vary and if you want to plan ahead, check the website.

To revitalize and maintain the balance of the ecosystem, some spaces were dedicated to nature. There are several gardens and orchards.
