Origins of Rive gauche

From its earliest days, Paris has been Sennelier’s source of inspiration opening its first store in Paris, 1887. Opposite the Louvre and just a stone’s throw away from the École des Beaux-Arts its location on the Left Bank (‘sur la Rive Gauche’) was the epicentre of bohemian thought and artistic expression. From the Latin Quarter to Montparnasse, this symbolic riverside area has proven to be one dominated by artists, intellectuals, musicians, professors and students. Being proud of its origins, the name ‘Rive Gauche’ consequently seemed a natural choice for Sennelier Fine Oils.
