The Rive Droite ( French pronunciation: [la ʁiv dʁwat] , Right Bank ) is most commonly associated with the river Seine in central Paris . Here, the river flows roughly westwards, cutting the city into two parts. When facing downstream, the northern bank is to the right, and the southern bank (or Rive Gauche ) is to the left. [1]
The Right Bank's most famous street is the Champs-Élysées , with others of prominence being Rue de la Paix , Rue de Rivoli and Avenue Montaigne .
