Paris1972-Versailles2003

I am again to tell you about more streets of my eternal Paris. I have many many posts on Paris and several on the streets of the most beautiful city in the world. I have come up with pictures from cd rom vault that should be here for you and me.  As always thank you for following my blog some since Nov 26, 2010. Therefore, here is my take on the streets of Paris, part XXXVIII !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.

The Rue Cambronne is located in the 15éme arrondissement of Paris. It begins at Place Cambronne, between Boulevard Garibaldi and Rue de la Croix-Nivert, and ends at Rue de Vaugirard. It intersects Rue Lecourbe and Rue Blomet. Rue Carrier-Belleuse, Rue Paul-Chautard, Villa Croix-Nivert, Rue Miollis, Rue Robert-Fleury, Square Charles-Laurent, Rue Mademoiselle, and Rue du Général-Beuret all begin or end at Rue Cambronne. The area is served by the Cambronne metro station (line 6), the Vaugirard metro station, and the Volontaires metro station (line 12). Rue Cambronne and Place Cambronne are named after Pierre Cambronne, a French general, viscount, and brigadier general of the First Empire. The current street, laid out in 1800, was originally called Rue de l’École. After the annexation of the village of Vaugirard to Paris by the law of June 16, 1859, the street was officially incorporated into the Parisian street network by a decree of May 23, 1863. The street was renamed by decree of August 24, 1864, in honor of Pierre Cambronne. Notable buildings here are at the corner of 2 rue Cambronne and 3 place Cambronne: a “flat building.” No. 54: Marcel Chassard, painter and lithographer, lived there.

The Place Cambronne is located in the 15éme arrondissement of Paris. It is located at 168 Boulevard de Grenelle and 2 Boulevard Garibaldi, at the intersection of Rue Cambronne, Rue de la Croix-Nivert, and Rue Frémicourt. The square is located opposite, past the metro station Cambronne on line 6. It takes its name from its proximity to Rue Cambronne, named after General Pierre Cambronne of the First Empire. (see above) ,The square was laid out in front of the École-Militaire gate on the Wall of the Farmers-General (located on the site of the current Place Garibaldi and Place Cambronne). Situated in the village of Vaugirard, and later on the border between this village and the village of Grenelle after the latter’s creation in 1830, it was named “Place de l’École-Militaire”. After the annexation of these two villages to Paris by the law of June 16, 1859, the square was officially incorporated into the Parisian street network by a decree of May 23, 1863. The street was renamed “Place Cambronne” by decree of August 24, 1864. Notable buildings here are as above on the corner of 3 Place Cambronne and 2 Rue Cambronne: “flat building.”Also, Joe Dassin’s song “La Complainte de l’heure de pointe” (The Rush Hour Lament) evokes the traffic jams in this neighborhood, Joe Dassin, born November 5, 1938, in New York City (United States) and died August 20, 1980, in Papeete (French Polynesia), was a French-American singer, songwriter, and writer.

The Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche is located in the Sorbonne quartier or neighborhood of the 5éme district or arrondissement of Paris. With a maximum width of 1.80 meters, it is sometimes described as the narrowest street in the city. It begins at 9 Quai Saint-Michel and ends at 12 Rue de la Huchette, for a length of 29 meters. The street is accessible via Metro line 4 at the Saint-Michel station and via RER lines B and C at the Saint-Michel – Notre-Dame station. It owes its name to the sign of a former shop that was located there. This fish shop was owned by a canon named Dom Perlet, whose highly skilled black cat was famous for its ability to pull fish from the Seine with a single swipe of its paw. The Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche (Street of the Fishing Cat) was opened in 1540. It then led directly to the banks of the Seine. First called “Rue des Étuves” ( Bathhouses street), or “Ruelle des Étuves” (Alley of the Bathhouses), then “Rue du Renard” ( Fox street) or even “Rue des Bouticles” ( Shops st), it later received its current name.
