Quartier de l'Arsenal

The Quartier de l'Arsenal is the fifteenth administrative district of Paris's 4th arrondissement and stretches along the right bank of the Seine. It is named after the Royal Arsenal, which stood along the riverbank from 1533. The district's boundaries were set in 1860 and form a triangle between the Quai Henri IV, the Bassin de l'Arsenal, and the Boulevard Henri IV. Here you'll find numerous historic sights, including the famous Place des Vosges with the Hôtel de Sully and Victor Hugo's former home. The Square Albert-Schweitzer and the Pavillon de l'Arsenal also invite you to linger and relax in this central part of the French capital.
