Left Bank of the Seine Paris – Walk on the calm side

About me I am a lawyer working for an international organization in Paris. But this is the boring part of myself. I love travelling and having n...

"I love running on the "Left bank of the Seine" in Paris. This area used to be an industrial area but now it's all relaxing pedestrian zones for citizens..."

I often take one hour in the middle of the day to go running and charge my batteries. When I do that, I often go to the riverside banks on the left side. These used to be an industrial and storage area for materials, but they have now been transformed into pedestrian areas where citizens and tourists can enjoy the real Parisian atmosphere. Some trees have been added in special places, but what is nice is to see the nice architecture of the city from that perspective while looking at the barges that carry materials or tourists pass along.

Between pont de l'Alma and pont Royal, the place includes nice places to sit and see the boats and for passers-by to walk along, as well as a spots for some drinks or snacks, children attractions, like via ferrata, or sports equipment to exercise your muscles.

It is definitely a great activity to do, especially if the day is bright. One can also do it nicely by bike with one of the bicycle rental systems available in town. The top of the top is to find one of the boats that offer accommodation on the right bank, there are several of them available in well-known home rental sites.

La Belle Hortense – Literature bar

"La Belle Hortense" in Le Marais, Paris, is an atypical bar, because it's also a book & wine shop. If you feel cultivated & intellectual, it's your place.

Les Douches Gallery – Great shows, great building!

"Les Douches Gallery" Paris is situated in what was once a public bath built in the 1930s. The gallery itself is fascinating, but the building is better!

Voies sur Berges – Under the bridges of Paris

"Voies sur Berges" in Paris, along the Left Bank, there is a 2.3km stretch where all is quiet and relaxed... My favorite bridge here is the Pont Concorde.
