7. La Vie – Rue Fürstemberg

Borgarrölt

Rue Fürstemberg

Paris, France 2

We go back Rue de Seine and turn left into Rue Jacob and again left into Rue de Fürstemberg.

A peaceful pedestrian street with a romantic tiny square with old-fashioned street-lamps. Often there is singing and playing of musical instruments under the mild shadows of the trees in the square.

From the square we retrace our steps and turn right into a quaintly curved street, Rue Cardinale, with some old houses. Then we turn left and continue a few steps along Rue de l’Abbaye and then to the right along Rue de l’Échaudée, all streets reserved for pedestrians. We have reached Boulevard Saint-Germain again.

We almost immediately leave it to the left into Rue de Buci which lies in an angle over Rue de Seine, crossing the market. We have a look into Rue Mazarine where art galleries abound, before we turn right into Rue de l’Ancienne Comédie. Pub Saint-Germain is there and the historical Café Procope.

Once again we are in Boulevard Saint-Germain. Once more we immediately leave it, through the pedestrian Passage-du-Commerce-Saint-André, where we can see remains of the old city wall behind windows at no. 4 and where we can rest at Cour de Rohan.

At the end of the passage we turn right into Rue Saint-André-des-Arts, which we follow all the way to the Seine, passing restaurant Allard. 

This walk is finished.
