WORLD HERITAGE / FUTURE STEWARDS
Paris, Banks of the Seine
How can a bridge help us read Paris?
Riverbanks, bridges and shared urban space
Understand its history and value
Bridges, quays, islands and buildings along the Seine reveal layers of Parisian history. The riverside connects architectural landmarks with the city’s changing urban form.
See the relationships today
Read the riverbank as a shared place: who passes through, stays or cares for it? Conservation and everyday experience offer two perspectives on the same place.
