Interesting buildings by here me think are : At no 4, in the 1960s, was one of the painter Balthus workshops.At no 6, passing a porch in a paved courtyard on the first floor (2nd US) of a brick and stone building was the apartment of the last years of the Romantic Master Delacroix, still with its Second Empire cachet. It has 350 sq meters of space! With a rotating 1100 work of arts 150 at a time. Eugène Delacroix held his workshop there from 1857 to 1863, the date of his death. The painter chooses this place to get closer to a major site. He received an order for three frescoes for the chapel of the angels of the Saint Sulpice Church (see post) in 1849 and the work continued until 1861. His apartment on the courtyard on the first floor adjoins his workshop on the ground floor ; on the garden in the 1920s, a museum was born on the initiative of the Society of the Friends of Eugène Delacroix. It opened the public for the first time in 1932 during an exhibition and became a national museum in 1971.
In this same building a workshop located a floor above from 1865 to 1866, Frédéric Bazille, left a painting entitled Atelier de la rue Furstenberg (1865, Montpellier, Fabre Museum) and Claude Monet share a workshop. His workshop was then taken over by Diogenes Maillart from 1879 to 1890.. The playwright Jean Anouilh moved to the square in 1914 and the Russian-American composer Alexandre Tcherepnine, an eminent element of the Paris School, resides during his stay in France until WWII at no 2, a plaque pays tribute to him. At no 4: workshop of the painter Balthus from 1933 to 1936. At no. 8: former Charles-Émile Wattier workshop from 1838-1868. Between the two wars settled there the sacred art workshops, founded by George Desvallières and Maurice Denis. They will be abandoned to make way for the Société de Saint-Jean. At no. 8 bis: home and workshop of the painter Augustine Cochet de Saint-Omer from 1832-1833 At no 8 ter: home of Antoine Etex in 1831, Workshop of the Kellner watchmaker in 1835. The writer Jean Anouilh settled there from 1914.
Favorite films I enjoyed mentioning this street/square were , Martin Scorsese was filming the last scene of his film in The Age of Innocence (1993) or Le Temps de l’innocence. The central place appears in Les Animaux fantastiques : Les Crimes de Grindelwald (2019) or Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, a Wallace fountain figured in place of the floor lamp being the ‘entrance to the ministry of french magic affairs. Gigi (1958), by Vincente Minelli, in which the actor Louis Jourdan makes a singing performance. The street was represented by many artists through history, including David Hockney, Louis Toffoli, Michel Delacroix and André Renoux.
A bit of history I like tell us that in 1697, Cardinal Guillaume-Egon of Fürstenberg became abbot of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Two years later, he undertook to develop the surroundings of the abbey palace by creating two new independent access to the abbey. He opened the rue de la Paroisse, future Furstemberg in his tribute, and rue Cardinale on the grounds of the enclosure in the perspective of the palace in 1723. At this point, the square designated under the mention of the courtyard of the Ecuries is not yet part of the way. It extends the palace in front of which the portal then gives on rue du Colombier, current rue Jacob. At the corner of the square, at number 4 rue de Furstumberg is a vestige of the decor of it, a fire pot from the 17C. In nos 6 and 8, the old outbuildings of the abbey palace adorned with their facades of red bricks and stone preserve in their structure even the memory of their primary vocation. In the ancient commons of the palace, on the ground floor, were the stables and the discounts while the domestics housed in the above floors.

I have written before on many things in Paris and sometimes I found me new things not yet in my blog that should be, This is the case lately of finding old pictures updating as found me a better one in my cd rom vault, and Paris is a huge part of it. I have written on many streets of Paris ; this is another nice one to walk over it at least once in your lifetime, Therefore, here is my take on the Place de Furstemberg and/or Rue de Furstumberg of Paris !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I
The Place de Furstemberg and/or Rue de Furstumberg is actually an extended section of the street established on the old pre-courtyard of the abbey palace of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The picturesque square inspired photographers, painters and filmmakers all seduced by its separate atmosphere. One of Paris most charming squares with its elegant lamp posts even if may be the smallest square in the city, its charm is undeniable. Place de Furstemberg is not technically a square but a street as rue de Furstemberg with a small roundabout for traffic. The area is served by metro line 4 at Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
