(Last Update: 11.09.2024) The treasures of Paris are endless. So much so that although these treasures are always in the middle of nowhere, they can sometimes go unnoticed, whether it is because we are focusing on other things or because there are too many things to focus on. But we all continue to turn Paris upside down, and in this article, we will once again explore one of those treasures, Paris by the sea. like a port city that will make us feel Port de l'ArsenalWe all know .
Port de l'Arsenal (por d larsenal or poğ dö lağsenal) in its place Arsenal Port We can also say, but where does the word Arsenal come from? Let me try to explain right away; Arsenal ammunition depot or, in more Turkish terms, military equipment warehouse and as you can guess, this place used to be a military material warehouse, which is what I call "once upon a time". 14th century It coincides, but there was no port here at that time. construction of the port 19th century finds.
In the 19th century Seine Riverof La Villette basin over Ourcq Canal combining with Canal Saint Martin – Saint Martin Canal With the implementation of the project, this place was opened to barge traffic and gained commercial importance as an important loading and unloading port at that time, and it maintained this feature until the early 1980s. Port de l'Arsenal in the early 80s Paris Municipality It is turned into a harbor to accommodate private boats, and the landscaping is redone as a park and recreation area accordingly, and it takes its current shape.
Now this is a shelter for small boats, Paris Canal ve Canauxrama comic Saint Martin Canal In addition to being a departure and arrival stop for sightseeing boats, it is also a center of attraction with options such as parks, gardens and restaurants, and it is a very nice place that we should explore during our trip to Paris. So much so that when the weather is nice, you can easily see topless women sunbathing alone. I think the trick is not to sunbathe topless in the middle of the city, but to provide a living environment where no one is disturbed while sunbathing.
Bastille Squarein Bastille OperaWhen you see the Arsenal Port on the right, you can go down the hill opposite the opera. Another entry Seine River side, but I like to start from here as a route, let's do the same with you, going down the hill and slowly abandoning ourselves to the atmosphere of the port.
On the right when you go down M1 metro of the line Bastille You will see the station. This line normally goes underground Bastille It passes over the Port de l'Arsenal station with a steel bridge. Because of this feature and some of the ceramics in the station Must-see stations in Paris one who BastilleIt is also a pleasure to watch the subways passing by from the port. On the other hand, there is a nice seafood restaurant on the left. The Big BlueWe should not neglect either.
Another name for Port de l'Arsenal is Bassin de l'Arsenal It is stated as; We can translate “bassin” as pond and this is 600 meters long It is actually an artificial pond. Even so Seine Riverfrom 3 meters up! With this link Seine RiverIt is used to pass to and serves as a multi-layered water pool. lock (ecclusion) is a special pleasure. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough to come across a boat passing by here, it is very enjoyable to watch. Similarly, from these floor pools Saint Martin CanalIt is also available in abundance.
Lockover the bridge on the side of M5 metro It crosses the line and the station right here, Quai de la Rapée, is a stop I have never used for some reason. To be honest, I don't ride the M5 much, but when I'm under this bridge, metro Watching the wagons pass by gives me childish pleasure. I remember the suburban trains passing over us as a child while taking a bus under the bridge in Ayrılıkçeşme. Well, now with the construction of Marmaray, those train sounds have come back again, so I continue to experience a similar feeling in Kadıköy :) Anyway, let's go back to Paris: from this point onwards Seine River It's already starting. Don't leave here and turn right, because you'll get carried away and get carried away :)
No no, I'm hanging out; I mean, if you continue your walk to the right from this point, it will no longer be a trip to Port de l'Arsenal, Seine River along the coast Rives de Seine Park has a walk; If you have the strength, determination and determination, a long and wonderful walking route awaits you. If the weather is nice, those who have a picnic here, daring somehow to those who sunbathe or read books; In short, you will come across people enjoying life, and this is a part with relatively few tourists. Next Saint-Louis Islandto the back of , and then Les Nautes Café-Barfrom there Marais DistrictYou go up to the lower parts of , and then you can travel again and be happy again... And also the one next door. Arsenal PavilionYou should not skip .
You may want to walk the other side of Port de l'Arsenal, but when you go to the other end, the doors of the stairs here are - most of the time - closed. As far as I understand, these stairs are reserved for the use of those who have boats in the harbor, and are kept locked for their safety. What I mean is, if you walk all the way to the end, you have to go all the way back. No, I did it and I know from there :) The bridge over the port is between 4th and 12th. boroughIt connects the 's. There are both beautiful and ugly buildings on both banks. Historical buildings are beautiful, reinforced concrete buildings are ugly, of course, but nothing overshadows the beauty of this modest port.
This is my favorite restaurant in London Dickens Innwhere is located Saint Katharine DocksI also love it because it reminds me of . Although it is not that beautiful, if that port is in London, this port is in Paris; If it's water, it's water, if it's a boat, it's a boat, if it's a seagull, it's a seagull :)
