literal English translation is: left of the river...or in slang it means "gaudy" "showy" or "trendy". The left bank is where all the American tourists hang out in Paris. BORING!
Left can be translated as "gauche", and right as "droite".

The Seine River divides Paris into the Left Bank (Rive Gauche) and the Right Bank (Rive Droite). The Left Bank is known for its bohemian atmosphere, artistic history, and intellectual heritage, while the Right Bank is more commercial and modern, housing many of the city's famous landmarks and upscale neighborhoods. The river serves as a central artery for the city, with many iconic bridges connecting the two banks.
