Right Bank (Paris) - LocalCityGuide

The Right Bank in travellers' terms generally refers to the "Right Bank" (French: Rive Droite) of the River Seine in the French capital city of Paris.

The Right Bank defies precise definition but generally refers to those arrondissements (districts) on the northern bank of the river as it flows through central Paris:

the 1st arrondissement — the Louvre and its surroundings
the 2nd arrondissement — the central business district
the 3rd arrondissement — the National Archives and its surroundings
the 4th arrondissement — the Notre-Dame and its surroundings

The Right Bank is mirrored by the term Left Bank, referring to arrondissements south of the river within central Paris, the general meaning of which contrasts strongly with that of the Right Bank.
