Les rues historiques de Paris = Historic streets of Paris

Historic streets of Paris . Paris is a mixture of streets made up over several centuries. Some are still being born while others have disappeared or changed their name. Some have the appearance of a collage, which resumes the history of the city. These streets are very different by their history and appearance. Some have an exotic name, like rue de Babylone, others have a name which has been forgotten or deformed or is mysterious. The main axes, wide and straight, date from the 19^th century.. However we look at it many of the streets of Paris are linked to history and literature. Often the « small story », or even legend, overlaps the « larger story », with a danger of unexpected reconciliations, of unusual survivals. It is impossible to list them all. We therefore propose a choice of streets, bridges and squares which often reserve surprises that passers-by in a hurry would find hard to believe..
