Voie Georges-Pompidou

The Georges Pompidou expressway (Voie Georges-Pompidou) is a 13-kilometer route crossing Paris, France along the right bank of the Seine.

It is essentially made up of expressways, except for the part going from the Tuileries tunnel to Quai Henri-IV (road on the banks to the east) which has become a pedestrian street (since 2016).

It is named after the former President of the Republic Georges Pompidou (1911-1974) who inaugurated it in 1967 when he was Prime Minister and initiated the motorway plan for Paris.

From 2002, part of the highway became a beach in summer, known as "Paris-Plages" and visited by 4 million people annually (as of 2007).
