Nestled in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, Rue du Clos is a street with a story to tell. Rue du Clos stretches a modest 200 meters, a slender thread in the city’s vibrant tapestry. Its width, a mere 10 meters, creates an intimate atmosphere. Rue du Clos begins its journey at 2 bis, rue Courat, eventually meeting Boulevard Davout. The name, Rue du Clos, whispers of its past. Some believe it’s a nod to a place known as Clos Église, famed for its wine. Others claim it’s a distorted echo of “ruelle à Colot,” a name lost to time. Rue du Clos’s history unfolds on a 1758 map of Charonne village, where it’s marked as “ruelle à Colot.” The street once ended at 58, rue Saint-Blaise. However, urban renewal extended its reach to Boulevard Davout, connecting it to the Marie de Miribel tram station on line T3b. This extension required a partial demolition of 49, rue Saint-Blaise. The new section of Rue du Clos opened its arms to the city. Rue du Clos has sheltered notable figures like composer Fernande Decruck, who resided at number 1. Number 43 housed the Théâtre aux Mains nues. Rue du Clos, though small, holds a unique place in the heart of Paris.
