The Fernand-Saguet quay

The current Quai Fernand-Saguet follows the route of the old Alfort towpath. Long dominated by automobile traffic, the first section of the quay was redesigned as a landscaped promenade between 1994 and 2000 by the landscape architect Jacques Coulon.
Opening onto the Marne, the towpath quay became, at the end of the 19th century, a leisure destination for Parisians arriving from boats operated by the Compagnie des Bateaux-Express. Continuing from the Bercy warehouses, it also developed into a site of significant industrial activity, notably related to the alcohol trade. One of the most important establishments was the Suze distillery, located at number 10 Quai d’Alfort from 1875.

Once you reach the banks of the Marne, you have two options. If you want to take a break from your walk, you can take Rue Nordling to find public transport at the Maisons-Alfort Ecole Vétérinaire stop.
Alternatively, you can also continue along the Marne by following the Promenade Paul-Cézanne, which starts at the foot of the Charenton Bridge and extends to Joinville and Créteil.

Enjoy the discovery!
