The Right Bank or Rive Droite is the area of Paris on the right bank of the River Seine. As the river flows in a roughly westerly direction towards the sea, it cuts through the center of Paris, dividing the city into two halves.

The Rive Droite is the right bank according to the flow of the Seine. This is the side of Paris with sights such as the Place Vendrôme. It is therefore regarded as the more elegant and sophisticated, as opposed to the more bohemian Left Bank or Rive Gauche.

Some of the most prominent and elegant streets of Paris are on Rive Droite, among them the Champs-Élysées, Rue de la Paix, Rue de Rivoli and Avenue Montaigne.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
