right bank
Downstream-facing left opposite
The right bank of a river is the side on your right when you face downstream—the direction the water flows.
In Paris, the Right Bank (Rive Droite) refers to the northern side of the Seine, historically associated with commerce and grandeur, contrasting with the artistic Left Bank to the south.
