Cour du Commerce St-André

Neighborhoods / Streets, St-Germain-des-Prés


Fodor's Review:

Cour du Commerce St-André. Like an 18th-century engraving come to life, this exquisite, cobblestone street arcade is one of Paris's loveliest sights. Famed for its Revolutionary inhabitants -- journalist Jean-Paul Marat ran the Revolutionary newspaper L'Ami du Peuple, at No. 8, and the agitator Georges Danton lived at No. 20 -- it's also home to Le Procope, Paris's oldest café. This passageway also contains a turret from the 12th-century wall of Philippe-Auguste (visible through the windows of the Catalogne tourist office).
