Location and access

[edit]

Rue Beautreillis, almost parallel to the Rue Saint-Paul and Rue du Petit-Musc, begins at Rue des Lions-Saint-Paul and ends at Rue Saint-Antoine. It successively crosses the Rue Charles-V and Rue Neuve-Saint-Pierre. Like many streets in old Paris, its narrow width is uneven and its buildings include traces of its long history of houses, hotels, and buildings dating from different eras.[citation needed]

Origin of the name

[edit]

The street's name, attributed in 1555, is in memory of the Hotel de Beautreillis, which was built on the site of the Hôtel Saint-Pol, and which takes its name from the vines against the walls of the garden.[citation needed]

History

[edit]

The street is cited under the names of "rue Girard-Bocquet"[2] and “Rue de Beau-trillis” in a manuscript of 1636 where the records indicate that it is "found orderly, room and full of mud and filth".[citation needed]

By ministerial decision of 6 September 1836, the length of this road was increased from 188m to 231m by absorption of Rue Gérard-Beauquet (taken from the name of the owner of the Hotel de Beautreillis), formerly Rue du Pistolet.[3]

It was at a barricade parallel to Rue Beautreillis on Rue Saint-Antoine that General François de Négrier was killed during June 1848.[citation needed]
