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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
