Walking Area by the Seine River: Parc Rives de Seine

(Last Update: 11.09.2024) One of the strangest things that occurred to me when I first settled in Paris in March 2012 was, Seine River Although there were many beautiful coastal areas along the coast, Parisians did not take advantage of these beauties. No matter how much I talked or said, my words must have reached the ears of the authorities, and as the years went by, the banks of the Seine began to become more active, beautiful places opened and life began to come to life :) Here is one of them, and Parc Rives de Seine, opened in April 2017In this article, I would like to introduce you…

Rives de Seine Park (park riv do you or fuck you) Louvre Museumstarting from the front of Bastille to the side, Port de l'Arsenal'up to Seine River It used to be a coastal road along the coast and was closed to traffic. in April 2017 park and recreation area It has gained an important place in our lives as an extremely enjoyable track where you can get fresh air in the middle of Paris.

Formerly Tuileries Garden He goes underground by car through the tunnel in front of him, Louvre MuseumRight from the corner of , you come to this coastal road, and by the way, I love driving here, because I felt like I was driving in Çubuklu or Kireçburnu in Istanbul :) For a while, they tried to close this road to traffic and open it to pedestrians only on weekends. When the application is successful and gives good results, Paris Municipality bu He closed the coastal road completely to traffic and opened it to the public under the name Parc Rives de Seine.

You can enter from many points to walk in Parc Rives de Seine, but in order to explore it from start to finish, my ideal route M1 of the metro Louvre Rivoli get off at the station directly Seine River walk to the shore and Louvre MuseumFrom the corner of Ponts des Arts   Pont Neuf Going down the road between the bridges Pont Neuf Walking to the side, that is, to the left. In this way, you reach the exact exit of the car tunnel I mentioned, that is, where the coastal road begins. If you wish, you can come through the tunnel, but it is not very enjoyable, just interesting; That's why it seems better to start the way I said.

Parc Rives de Seine, which is very popular and crowded in the afternoons and especially on weekends. It is better to visit early on weekdays. It seems like to me. Depending on whether you like crowds or tranquility, you can decide your wandering time accordingly. Walking or cycling on empty roads when no one is around, Seine River I've always enjoyed breathing in its air.

Of course, it has a different energy when it's crowded; The place is lively, people are walking around happily, doing sports, reading books, sunbathing if the weather is suitable, kissing and snuggling, eating and drinking, and enjoying life. If you wish, you can get an idea about the secluded state of the park by watching the video above.

As you can see, walking along Parc Rives de Seine cycling It's also quite enjoyable. There is also a place to rent a bike for the day, but I stayed there instead. bike rental VélibI recommend . For now they have two stations on this track and I think it is enough. In crowded times, you have to make an extra effort to avoid hitting people, so be careful.

On the walking path of Parc Rives de Seine Fun activities especially for children there is. More for children's motor skill development Very interesting activity areas such as walking on logs and climbing on rings have been created in the created areas. I am sure that many Turkish mothers will worry that "something will happen to my child", but French mothers leave their children alone in these "dangerous" playgrounds and give them the opportunity to hold on to life and improve themselves. I think just think about it 😉

While your child is playing in several large and small playgrounds and doing useful things for his personal development, You can also drink water from the taps. this water Seine River's water, but of course it is not taken directly from the river and comes to the tap. It goes through some processes and reaches homes as drinking water. Yes me During the ten years I lived in Paris I never bought drinking water, I always used tap water. Especially when it's cold, Seine RiverThe water flowing from the tap is very good to drink.

Although it may seem like a lot of streets at the beginning of the Parc Rives de Seine walking trail, as you progress a little further, the environment starts to become greener. After crossing a few bridges Seine River Picnic areas are starting to appear on the shore. The tree shadows here are good for people. On one side of you Cite Island ve Notre Dame Cathedral, on one side of you Saint Louis Island, you feel like you're on vacation. Indeed, if you are a tourist, you are already on holiday. Only the traffic noise coming from above, from the street, is a bit unpleasant, but other than that, everything is wonderful…

Now that the  picnic Do you mean those who do things, those who sunbathe freely, those who read books, or those who chat? Here you can see people of all backgrounds and colors together. Even if you accidentally find a place in the hammock, do not hesitate to swing… Eating and drinking There are small buffet style places at the beginning of the track, do not expect great delicacies, they are mostly snacks, but it is really enjoyable to have a snack and a drink by the river.

Prices It's not that expensive. TThe additional problem is that they are served in plastic cups; well now The same amount of faults can happen to a woman's daughter too. We are here to enjoy life, we don't worry about the little things :) People really don't worry about anything here, they live a different dream in a different land. We know that the world is actually a very black and white place, unequal, unjust, and full of many evils. We give it color as much as we can and try to make our lives as beautiful as we can. When you try to do this in Paris, your job becomes a little easier...

That's why I want everyone to be able to come and do this; Sit in a row on these chairs or gather around a table and chat and enjoy your time together. Enjoy these beauties together or happily alone.

As you move forward, old barges have been converted into cafe restaurants. barge's appear before you. Though My two favorite péniches in Parisone of Antipode the other Rosa Happiness on the Seinebut if you wish, here bargeYou have the chance to eat good food and drink nice drinks on the terraces on land, under the shade of trees. If the weather is nice, the tree shadow blows like a breeze...

As you progress a little further picnic tables appears before you. I don't know if it would be possible to find a place here on weekends or in the evenings; I don't like having picnics in very crowded places anyway. If you go on a weekday during the day, I think it might be enjoyable to have breakfast here. A little later, my favorite The Nautes There is anyway, and the front of the place is often colorful and lively.

The NautesThere are places to sit in front of , and most of the time there is something festive going on. Because I am a person of peace I prefer to live quieter lives, so The NautesI like him more when he's calm. However, everyone has different tastes and likings, maybe you like this festival, then I hope you come across a fun moment during your walk.

After that, the road bends to the right, and you pass through a green area with trees. Pont de SullyAfter proceeding towards and passing under the bridge, as the road curves to the left, take the right side from the gap on the right, Seine River I recommend you go down to the shore and continue like that because if you continue walking on the normal path, you will come across a tunnel and the inside of the tunnel is not very pleasant, anyway, a little further on you go uphill and reach the main street and this way the track ends. Around here, just above Arsenal Pavilion There is a very special exhibition and event area called Paris architecture and urbanism movement, and it is free.

If you continue straight on the right without going up, you will see the bridge I mentioned above, the photo of which you see above. Pont de SullyAfter passing, if you go down the road on the right from the bottom of his feet, there is a different atmosphere here. This side Seine River I can say that it is the place where I see the most people sunbathing :) Although sunbathing in a swimsuit in a place where there is no shower facility seems like scalding to me, people living in Paris need it. My weirdos, Mykonos There were but they didn't go? :)

Though Paris Plages – Paris Beaches During the season, the Parc Rives de Seine track turns into a complete sunbathing area. Actually Paris Plages – Paris Beaches If you come during the season, this place becomes much more lively. That version has a different beauty but a different pomp, and as I said before, I don't like that crowd.

When you pass that sunbathing area I mentioned, Port de l'ArsenalYou have reached the entrance of , which I think is a place worth seeing, but if you wish, you can turn back and walk Parc Rives de Seine one more time in the opposite direction, because when your perspective changes, your view will change completely and you will feel like you are wandering around a new place. on the road Notre Dame Cathedral, Hôtel de Ville, Concierge Service, Louvre Museum The most important buildings of Paris such as will be greeting you.

Although on the other side Pont de l'Alma   Pont Royal There is also such a track between, but since the area I explained in this article was opened first, it always seems like this is the only one in my mind :)

I hope you can take such a walk along Parc Rives de Seine in nice weather and enjoy it as much as I do.

Pleasant trips, pleasant discoveries…
