In Paris, the Seine is crossed by thirty seven bridges among which four accessible footbridges only to the pedestrians. History The Seine favored, from the middle of the IXth century, the Norman invasions. In March 845, for example, the Normans who went back up the Seine since its mouth, arrive to Paris which they plunder. They withdraw only against a ransom of 7000 pounds of money. Other assaults will follow during a half a century approximately. In 1170, the corporation of the " traders of the water " receives from king Louis VII the monopoly of the business on the Seine. On their seal represents the nave which is still in the coat of arms of the city of Paris. August 9th, 1803, experiment of Robert Fulton's steamer on the Seine. The first wash-sheds are anchored in the Seine in 1851 and quickly reach hundred. The arrival of the tap water in the Parisian buildings pulls their progressive disappearance until 1937. During the war of 1870, the Parisians, besieged by the Prussians and without communications with the outside, try to receive from the mail locked into metallic balls, said " balls of Moulins ", launched upstream to the capital. None was however taken in in Paris. Drink the water of the Seine The Parisians drank some water of the Seine always, but from the roman time of waters of source of better quality are brought in Paris. We shall note however in 1605 the installation of a pump on the New bridge, said by the Samaritan, who will work until 1813. Also, that of the bridge Notre-Dame worked from 1673 till 1858. The water carriers, the corporation mentioned from 1292, brought at home the water drawn from the Seine or taken in the public fountains, and disappeared only at the end of the XIXth century. Today, the Seine in Paris does not supply any more strictly speaking drinking water to the Parisians, because used waters of surface result from Evry and from Orly, far upstream. Floods The floods of the Seine are an integral part of the history of Paris. It seems good that the first mention of a floods is the one of the Roman emperor Julien during winter 358-359. The columnist Grégoire De Tours told then that of the 582. The floods were often fatal in the bridges of Paris. So, in 1280, a floods of the river take the Big Bridge. In December, 1296, a new floods of an exceptional scale take all the bridges of Paris (which in the time supported houses). The most important floods of the Parisian history, known with a sufficient certainty, are the one of 1658. But the most present historic floods still in the memory of the Parisians are the one of 1910 which lasted nine days, from 20 till 28 January 1910. On January 21st, it achieved certain places about 9,50 m. Numerous postcards showed the devastation, such the accesses of the station Saint-Lazare completely under waters.

Given over to car traffic in the second half of the 20th century, the banks of the Seine in Charenton are hard to imagine today that they were one of the first destinations for canoeists leaving Paris. It was also a major industrial centre, as the massive silhouette of the Ivry-Charenton industrial footbridge, also known as the cable footbridge, still bears monumental witness. Although the footbridge can be used by pedestrians and cyclists, it was built primarily to carry electricity cables from the former Ivry-sur-Seine power station. Conceived when the power station was first designed in 1923 and completed in 1930, it comprises a long span of 135 m, extended by two side spans that act as counterweights to the central arch. Until the Second World War, it held the world record for the span of its lattice girders. A key strategic and symbolic site, the confluence of the Seine and Marne rivers was marked from Roman times to the 16th century by a column bearing a statue of Jupiter or Mercury. Since 1992, the site, located in the commune of Alfortville, has been occupied by the Chinagora hotel and shopping complex. If you continue along the quay, you will now be skirting the banks of the Marne.

Here, make sure you don't miss the bend on your right and keep to the cycle lane between the Stéphane-Diagana track and the Henri-Guérin stadium, to arrive opposite the confluence of the Seine and Marne rivers.

Although the current Charenton Bridge dates only from 1974, it marks the site of a crossing over the Marne River that has held major economic and strategic importance since Antiquity. Caesar, in the Gallic Wars, already mentions the crossing by his lieutenant Labienus at this spot, as he prepared to attack the Parisians with four legions, crossing the Marne thanks to its many islands. The existence of a wooden bridge is first recorded in the 7th century. Carried away by storms and damaged by wars, it was rebuilt many times—first in wood, then in stone, and later in concrete. At one time fortified, its towers were destroyed by Henry IV. In 1664, d’Artagnan passed over it, escorting Nicolas Fouquet as a prisoner to Paris. On March 3, 1814, students from the Alfort Veterinary School resisted the coalition armies there. Like many bridges, it also supported mills, the last of which disappeared in 1811. The bridge’s significance contributed to the gradual formation of the present-day communes of Charenton, Saint-Maurice, and Maisons-Alfort. From the bridge, you can reach the right bank of the Marne by following the path alongside departmental road 6, either upstream or downstream.

Having passed under the Charenton bridge, you now have several options for continuing your walk. Staying on the right bank, you can continue along the river along the Saint-Maurice towpath. You can also reach Maisons-Alfort by taking the footbridge over the Saint-Maurice dam or by climbing back onto the Charenton bridge. Finally, you can reach the Bois de Vincennes via the bridge by taking the cycle path through Saint-Maurice and Charenton. Enjoy the ride!

It forms young creators in the professions by the printing office, by the design of communication and by the art professions of the book. It is on proposition of the anthropologist and the linguist Abel Hovelacque that the city of Paris adopts in 1887 the project of creation of a professional municipal school of arts and graphic industries. It has for object the professional training of the professions by the book, in all their practical and theoretical aspects. Its purpose was to mitigate the sub-qualification in this infant industry. Paris was considered as the capital of the printing office and as an important example of the public politics of professional training at the beginning of the IIIth Republic. By creating this school, the City Council of Paris provoked a general outcry in the autonomous and corporate environment that was the book-related industry.

A major figure of Romanticism, Eugène Delacroix was born in Saint-Maurice on April 26, 1798, in the bourgeois house his family then occupied. Delacroix spent his first two years there, until his father was appointed prefect of Bouches-du-Rhône and the family moved to Marseille in 1800. Later, the house was notably occupied by Edmond Nocard (1850–1903), professor and then director of the Alfort Veterinary School. From 1880 onward, Nocard was a key collaborator of Louis Pasteur, who first recruited him to assist in his work on anthrax. They then created a joint laboratory, where Nocard developed new techniques to combat tuberculosis and tetanus. He died in 1903 at his home in Saint-Maurice and is buried in the local cemetery. Abandoned in the mid-20th century, the house was threatened with demolition before being classified as a Historic Monument in 1973. It was eventually restored by the city to house the municipal library. The new media library was inaugurated on December 12, 1988, and underwent further renovation in 2016.

A plaque in Saint-Maurice marks the site of the Charenton Temple, which was built following the proclamation of the Edict of Nantes in 1598 and whose construction began in 1607. The Edict of Nantes granted freedom of worship but prohibited the construction of Protestant temples within five leagues (just over 15 kilometers) of a bishop’s seat. As a result, the first places of worship for Parisian Protestants were established in Grigny, and later in Ablon. However, the distance proved burdensome, prompting numerous complaints from the Reformed community. In response, Henry IV authorized the construction of a temple on the territory of what is now the commune of Saint-Maurice, then part of the parish of Charenton-Saint-Maurice. The first building was designed by architect Jacques Androuet du Cerceau, but it was ransacked as early as 1615 and then set on fire in 1621. Louis XIII permitted its reconstruction, which was carried out under the direction of Salomon de Brosse, architect of the Luxembourg Palace in Paris. Completed in 1624, it was a particularly large structure, capable of accommodating up to 4,000 worshippers. The Charenton Temple was ultimately destroyed in 1685, in just five days, following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. In 1700, the land was sold to the Benedictine nuns of the Val d’Osne, who established a convent there. Though the convent was dismantled during the French Revolution, its memory endures in the name of the street that now leads from the Plateau district to the Marne River. Two hundred years later, in 1890, a new temple was built in the nearby commune of Charenton-le-Pont.
