Rue St. Vincent

Rue St. Vincent

The Saint Vincent opened in 1689 by Jean-Vincent Philippe de Hautmesnil to facilitate the subdivision of his land. The street was named after its patron saint.

From the nineteenth century, the Rue Saint-Vincent is famous as a gourmet place. The old Hotel Richelieu was built in 1861, and was then the rendezvous of the literary world.
