La rue des
Francs-Bourgeois
Metro : Saint-Paul. 4eme
arrondissement.
Francs-Bourgeois's street is
one of the longer and the most interesting of le Marais. Starting from
BEAUBOURG (rue Rambuteau), it is a today a trendy street
extremely appreciated for all the fashion stores. Note that this
street is opened on sunday. So, many people come to brunch and walk
there at the end of the week. Impossible to miss it if you visit
le Marais. We can still discover several hotels particuliers, (ancient
private mansions), from past centuries : Hôtel Carnavalet,
Lamoignon, Sandreville, d'Albret,
d'Alméras, Poussepin, de Coulanges, Hérouet, de Jaucourt,
de Fontenay, de Breteuil. Hotel Carnavalet houses the museum of the
history of Paris. Yesteryear, this street was called : rue des
Poulies. But, in 1415, a so-called le Mazurier offered to the grand
Prieur of France, a huge private mansion with 24 bedrooms to receive 48
poor people. These people was so poor they didnt pay the taxes of the
city and were called : francs-bourgeois. That means the origin of
the street's name.
