The Quai des Tuileries of Paris !!!

Posted in Europe, France, Paris

I have mentioned many of them in previous posts, but not a post of their own. It’s about time to tell you about my favorite quays or quais of my eternal Paris! I found me a couple of old paper pictures and decided to do this post for the memories of always. I have walked and driven on them many times and there are awesome either way ; they are the quintessential Paris we all like to read and visit about. Therefore, let me tell you a bit on the Quai des Tuileries of Paris !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

 The Quai des Tuileries is located along the right bank of the Seine in the 1er arrondissement of Paris, which begins in the passerelle Léopold-Sédar-Senghor and finishes at Place de la Concorde. Vehicles circulate there one way from the Place de la Concorde to the East. Before 2016, the tuileries tunnel allowed vehicles to access the lane on the right bank of the Seine, today reserved for pedestrians. It bears his name due to the vicinity of the old Tuileries palace. Until 1730, there was a narrow path at this place between the Seine and the ditches of the Tuileries garden. In 1731, the king ordered the demolition of the conference gate and the formation of a wider path. In 1806, Napoleon raised a quay wall. Part of the Quai des Tuileries, located east of Avenue du Général-Lemonnier, was brought together in 2003 to be a part of the Quai du Louvre to form the Quai François-Mitterrand. In the below picture you see the peniche the Pont de la Concorde on right and further across the Assemblée Nationale of France.

There you go folks, a wonderful small contribution to the magic and romantic allure of the quais de Paris are sublime. A must to walk them and even a thrill to drive by them as this road warrior have done both several times. Again, hope you enjoy the post on the Quai des Tuileries of Paris !!! as I

And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
