The banks of the Seine are part of the Paris scenery. The river, running right through the centre of the city, forms a line between the Right Bank (north side) and Left Bank (south side).
The "bouquinistes" or book sellers of Paris are situated along the banks of the Seine: on the Right Bank you’ll find them between pont Marie and the Louvre. On the Left Bank they are between quai de la Tournelle and quai Malaquais.
