The rue Jouffroy d’Abbans of Paris !!!

Posted in France, Paris

Now in nostalgia lane, this is a new post with an old picture of a very walked street in Paris by yours truly. The rue Jouffroy d’Abbans has a couple mentioned in my blog but feel for the close personal touch of it to us needs a full post in my blog.  Therefore, here is my take on the rue Jouffroy d’Abbans of Paris !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The street very dear to me as go there many times for our Spanish groceries in Paris is rue Jouffroy d’Abbans in the 17émé arrondissement of Paris. I have written a post on the Cap Hispania (see post) store at 23 rue Jouffroy d’Abbans.

This street starts at 1, boulevard Pereire and ends at 80, avenue de Wagram. The crossroads with boulevard Malesherbes and rue Ampère is called Place du Nicaragua. The crossroads with Avenue de Villiers and Rue Brémontier forms Place Monseigneur-Loutil. This street closest public transport is the metro line 3 Wagram. The name of the street honors the Marquis Claude de Jouffroy d’Abbans, French naval architect, engineer and industrialist, inventor of steamboats.

I always drive to it coming on Bd Malesherbes turning left on Jouffroy d’Abbans towards the store. I find parking always passing it on Rue Cardinet around the park Square de Batignolles, and sometimes on the street itself. I did took a walk passed this area into the train station Cardinet for the L trains and metro line 14 for info. Last train station before the Gare Saint Lazare train station. I have, also, written on the marché des Batignolles (see post) here and shop for cheeses and sausages a couple times, nice place parking underground.

Some of the remarkable spots on this street other than my fav Spanish grocery store! Are at No 62 the home where Phillippe Gille lived and died. His son, pianist Victor Gille, was also born there. Philippe Gille had two balconies installed, one of them was taken from the house of historical Marat, the other from that where Charlotte Corday stayed when she arrived in Paris. At No 66 lived in 1885 the painter Thérèse de Champ-Renaud.

There you go folks, another nice place to walk away from the tourist hordes in an off the beaten path spot in my eternal Paris. Again, hope you enjoy this post on the rue Jouffroy d’Abbans of Paris !!! as I.

And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
