Inaugurated in 1825 by order of Napoleon, today it is the epicenter of alternative social life. Its 4.5 kilometers of tree-lined docks and operational locks set the pace for a perfect afternoon. It is a place defined by its green reflections, its rotating bridges and its 'bobo' (bourgeois-boh\u00e8me) spirit.","description_body":"Your exploration begins at the vibrant <strong>Quai de Valmy<\/strong>. We recommend walking along the shore, watching the process of the locks opening to let ships through, an engineering ritual that hasn't changed in two centuries. Cross the iconic curved iron walkways, made famous by the film <i>Am\u00e9lie<\/i>. The atmosphere is purely social: you'll see hundreds of people sharing wine and conversation at sunset.
