The combination of threatening skies and blue skies along Gare de l'Est in the Rue Faubourg Saint-Martin.
Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin
This is a 1,886 meters long street in the 10th arrondissement of Paris through three quartiers; Porte-Saint-Martin, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and Hôptial-Saint-Louis. This street starts at the Boulevard Saint-Denis and ends at the Boulevard de la Villette and Place de la Bataille-de-Stalingrad.
The route of this road is the Roman road that ran from Lutèce going north through the current streets of Château-Landon, Philippe de Girard, the Chapel to get to Saint-Denis.
Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin owes its name to the fact that it is an extension of the rue Saint-Martin, but outside of the wall symbolized today by the Porte Saint-Martin: it is more so in the village but in the 'false town' (faux-bourg = Faubourg) that formed beyond the door.
It bore the name of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin, between the Boulevard Saint-Denis and Rue du Château d'Eau due to its proximity to the door and rue du Faubourg Saint-Laurent beyond. Both parties were united under the current name during the Revolution wearing momentarily name Faubourg du Nord.
