A little hidden from tourists who prefer more famous destinations, often taken by storm, Rue Crémieux is one of the most unique streets in Paris, with its many bright colors. Very original and unique, Rue Crémieux was created in 1857 and was once known as Avenue Millaurd.
Later, however, the name was changed by Parisians to Rue Crémieux, to celebrate and remember the name of the lawyer and politician Adolphe Crémieux, famous for his struggles for freedom of speech and the abolition of the death penalty. From the 19th century, the street has retained the calm and tranquility that can rarely be found nowadays in the capital. Rue Crémieux is a street closed to traffic where you can calmly admire antique clocks and shop signs that take you back a couple of centuries in time.
