Quai Anatole-France

The Quai Anatole-France (French pronunciation: [kɛ anatɔl fʁɑ̃s]) is a quay on the south bank of the River Seine in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France.

Anatole France was familiar with the quays of Rive Gauche: he had lived at 15, quai Malaquais and his father had run a bookstore at 9, quai Voltaire.

First called the Quai de la Grenouillière by the Council decree of 18 October 1704, it had been renamed the Quai d'Orsay by the decision of the Council of 23 August 1707.

The part of the quay between number 5 and the Rue de Bellechasse was named the Place Henry-de-Montherlant in 1982.
