History
Paris grew from a Roman river port on the Seine into a capital shaped by medieval guilds, Haussmannian redesigns in the 19th century, and artistic movements centered in Montparnasse and Saint‑Germain.
Conservation
The Seine’s banks are increasingly managed for sustainable tourism and flood protection; visitors are asked not to litter and to respect protected river habitats.
