Quai d'Orsay
Encyclopedia : Q : QU : QUA : Quai d'Orsay
The Quai d'Orsay is a quay in the VIIe Arrondissement of Paris, part of the left bank of the Seine, and the name of the street along it. The Quai becomes the Quai Anatole France east of the Palais Bourbon, and the Quai de Branly west of the Pont de l'Alma.
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs is located on the Quai d'Orsay, and thus the ministry is often called the Quai d'Orsay by metonymy.
