Directions to Port de Grenelle, ParisFrom:
Paris River Cruise Ports
The following directions are from the RER Line C station at Champs de Mars - Tour Eiffel, which is on the west side of the Eiffel Tower. (The Bir-Hakeim stop of Métro Line 6 is just around the corner.) Note: If you're walking to the port from a hotel near the Eiffel Tower, we suggest heading directly for the Boulevard de Grenelle and the Seine. As you approach the Pont de Bir-Hakeim bridge, you can follow our directions from step 3 below.
1. Take RER Line C to Champ de Mars - Tour Eiffel and exit to the street.
2. Walk along the
sidewalk away from the Eiffel Tower. (Use the kiosk as a landmark.)
3. At the next corner (Boulevard de Grenelle), you'll see a glass building named "Maison du Japon à Paris." Follow the zebra markings across the street.
4. Cross the street again, this time toward the river and the Quai Branly:
5. After you've crossed the street, follow the sidewalk next to the bridge until you reach the port sign (left side of photo).
6. Next to the port sign, a ramp for cars and pedestrians leads down to the Seine. Follow it downhill and continue straight ahead along the waterfront.
7. Soon, you'll reach a marina building and a quay with river vessels (including yours). This is the Port de Grenelle:
