The Quai de Conti (colloquially “quai Conti”) is a street on the left bank of the Seine in Paris .
Name origin
The Quai de Conti was built between November 5, 1655 and July 10, 1662, renovated and expanded between 1851 and 1853. It takes its name from the Hôtel de Conti, which had its main entrance here. The Hôtel de la Monnaie (today Monnaie de Paris ) was built in its place in 1771 .
location
The Quai de Conti begins at Rue Dauphine 2 and the Pont Neuf , runs along the Quartier de la Monnaie in the 6th arrondissement and the Place de l'Institut (here is the Institut de France and across from the Pont des Arts ) and ends after 360 meters on the western corner of the Institut de France or Rue de Seine , where the Quai Malaquais begins. It is in an east-west direction one-way street.
The RATP 24, 27, 58 and 70 buses run along the quay .
history
The Quai de Conti was built in 1313 as the first bank fortification in Paris (together with the Quai des Grands Augustins ). It was initially called Quai de Nesle (because of its proximity to the Tour de Nesle ), which stood here, later Quai Guénégaud (after the Hôtel de Guénégaud ) and Quai Conti (after the Hôtel de Conti , which had its main entrance here). In 1781 it was renamed Quai de la Monnaie and in 1792 Quai de l'Unité. The part to the west of the Palais de l'Institut was also called the Quai des Quatre Nations.
