A stroll down down Rue Coquillière

A walk down the street after a light shower.

 

Coquillière Street is one of the oldest paths of the 1st district of Paris.

 

The name "Coquilliere" is derived from the name of the landowner and partial builder of the street, Pierre Coquillier.

 

The street was built entirely in 1292 and opened towards the end of the 13th century, shortly after the construction of the enclosure of Philippe Auguste at no. 10.

 

The street is situated on the Palais-Royal (the part between Croix-des-Petits-Champs and rue du Louvre), and the Halles district (between the rue du Louvre and the Saint -Eustache).
