Originally, the quay Voltaire was only the western part of the quay Malaquais. We gave him the name of quay of Théatins after a monastery of théatins had become established there in 1644 by buying, thanks to the generosity of cardinal Jules Mazarin, a house which can shelter approximately twenty five members of a religious order in the location of the current no 23 and no 25 quay Voltaire. The convent was defused in 1790 and demolished in 1822. In 1595 Guillaumede Varic installed a tilery there. In 1791, the quay took the name of quay Voltaire in homage to the writer who died in 1778 in the hotel of the marquess of Villette there.Since Balzac, who places antique dealer's mysterious shop of La Peau de chagrin, the quay Voltaire shelters numerous antique dealers, today rather specialized in the upper upscale segment. In the beginning of the XIXth century, the first secondhand booksellers of Paris make it their appearance.

In 1816, a large crowd went to the port at the Louvre to watch the docking of the Elise, the first steamboat. Today, the crowd comes to the museum, the home port for art from all over the world. To expand, the Louvre got rid of the Ministry of Finance civil servants who used a wing of the building until the mid-1980s. Going towards the Opera, the beginning of the Japanese quarter of Paris, side-by-side with the luxury boutiques of Faubourg St-Honoré and the antique shops in the Louvre des Antiquaires. The quarter is also a quiet paradise abandoned to bankers now that the National Library and its readers have moved to a new river bank site. With the Tuileries and the quays, this stop is also the one for the nearest Paris gets to beach establishments.

The Pont Royal is a bridge crossing the river Seine in Paris. It is the third oldest bridge in Paris, after the Pont Neuf and the Pont Marie. Located near the metro station: Tuileries LocationThe Pont Royal links the Right Bank by the Pavillon de Flore with the Left Bank of Paris between rue du Bac and the rue de Beaune. The bridge is constructed with five elliptical arches en plein cintre. A hydrographic ladder, indicating floods' highest level in Paris, is visible on the last pier nearest each bank. History In 1632, the entrepreneur Pierre Pidou directed the construction of a wooden toll-bridge which would be called Pont Sainte-Anne (in deference to Anne of Austria) or Pont Rouge (due to its color). It was designed to replace the Tuileries ferry upon which the rue du Bac (bac meaning ferry in French) owes its name. The ferry had been offering crossings since 1550. Fragile, this bridge of fifteen arches would be repaired for the first time in 1649, completely redone two years later, burnt in 1654, flooded in 1656, completely rebuilt in 1660, propped up in 1673 and finally carried away by a flood in February 1684. Madame de Sévigné reported that this last incident caused the loss of eight of the bridge's arches. It was finally reconstructed between October 25, 1685, and June 13, 1689, this time with stone, receiving complete financing from the king Louis XIV; it was the king who gave it the name Pont Royal. Louvois director of the Bâtiments du Roi, charged Jacques Gabriel, Jules Hardouin-Mansart and François Romain with the construction project. In the 18th century, the bridge was a popular meeting place for various festivities and celebrations. At the time of the French Revolution, in the period following the fall of the monarchy on 10 August 1792 and the beginning of the First French Empire in 1804 - the name of Pont Royal was changed to Pont National. During that period, General Napoléon Bonaparte (future Napoléon I, Emperor of the French) had cannons installed on the bridge in order to protect the Convention Nationale and the Committee of Public Safety, housed in the Tuileries Palace.During the First French Empire (1804-1814), Napoléon I renamed the bridge the Pont des Tuileries, a name that was kept until the Restoration in 1814 when Louis XVIII gave back to the bridge its royal name. The bridge underwent a last reconstruction in 1850. In 1939, it was classified as a monument historique under the same bill as the Pont Neuf and the Pont Marie.In 2005, the Pont Royal was illuminated by lights at night as one of the Paris Olympic Bid highlights.

This stop is a railway station, as Orsay was at the end of the railway line before it housed all the nineteenth century European artistic movements. The thousands of visitors who visit the museum each day cause a bit of disturbance in this secretive, discreet quarter. The magnificent mansions built by the nobility in the eighteenth century are now mainly used as ministries and embassies. Although the heavy doors behind which state decisions are taken and that only open for the coming and going of ministerial limousines, Faubourg Saint-Germain is not just the hushed paradise of the political and diplomatic world. A walk reveals the finest buildings in Paris in a quarter that is secretive even for Parisians.

The quay of the Louvre was formerly mentioned quay of the School. A part of the quay of the Louvre, situated on the West by the street of Amiral-de-Coligny, was gathered in 2003 in a part of the quay of the Tuileries to train the quay François-Mitterrand.

First came abbots who founded a community that possessed much money and knowledge. Then the Académie Française and the École des Beaux-Arts (art school) set up here. And finally Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and all their friends who held forth while Boris Vian played and Juliette Gréco sang in the cellars. Those are the intellectual roots of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. But is there anything left? Even though the galleries and bookshops are holding out, ready-to-wear is elbowing out ready-to-think. But if you forget the flashy window displays and explore the little streets around rue de Buci, where the market is held, or the quays (the oldest being Quai des Grands-Augustins that dates back to 1313), you'll find liveliness and artists who still breathe.

Created by the meeting of several small islands of which the island to the Jews (where were burned the last Knight Templars) and the island of the Patriarch. The public garden owes its name to Henri IV, nicknamed the "Vert-Galant" because of his numerous mistresses in spite of its advanced age. The public garden is dominated by an equestrian statue of Henri IV resting on the Pont-neuf (which separates the public garden besides from the island). A commemorative tablet calls back besides that it is in this place that took place, March 18th, 1314, executions on the stake of two higher dignitaries of the order of the Temple, Jacques de Molay and Geoffroy de Charnay.
Before welcoming a public garden, 2 665 m2 were devolved to baths by 1765, then to café with live music in 1865. This one was destroyed by a flood in 1879. The public garden welcomes a fountain Wallace with button. In 2007, it obtained the label " ecological green spaces " awarded by ÉCOCERT.

The first royal statue restored in bets, after the Revolution and the Empire, was the one of Henri IV, chosen because of the affection which a majority of the population carried to the founder of the dynasty of Bourbons.
