Rive Droite or Rive Gauche?

Introduction:

Traditions are passed on from generation to generation and help shape and influence local culture. Being familiar with local traditions helps you understand the people in your community as well as how to become a part of the community yourself. While France has many traditions and celebrations like Bastille Day (the National Day of France celebrated on July 14) and Paris Fashion Week, I want to talk about a tradition that I have had a chance to experience myself, which is exclusively Parisian and perhaps unfamiliar to many people.

What tradition did I learn about?:

Paris is split into two halves by the Seine River which roughly flows from east to west through the City.
