Quai Henri IV (boat landing)
In the story · End of the boat ride: Jesse offers Céline a lift
The river cruise ends here on the Right Bank, where Jesse's driver is waiting and he offers Céline a lift home instead of saying goodbye. The tree-lined lower quay between the Pont de Sully and the Pont d'Austerlitz still serves as a mooring for tour boats, with the tip of the Île Saint-Louis just downstream.
