Tucked away in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, we find ourselves on Rue Francis Jammes. This street, born in the 1980s, is a relatively new addition to the city’s tapestry. Rue Francis Jammes begins its journey at Rue Georg Friedrich Haendel and Place Robert-Desnos. It concludes its short path at Rue Louis Blanc. Rue Francis Jammes carries the name of the French writer, Francis Jammes. He lived from 1868 to 1938. While Jammes’s life and works were primarily rooted in the countryside, this Parisian street offers a quiet homage to his legacy. He was known for his simple, rustic themes, a stark contrast to the decadent literary trends of his time. Interestingly, before bearing the poet’s name, Rue Francis Jammes was simply known as “voie R/10”. This was during the development of the ZAC Jemmapes-Grange-aux-Belles area. Imagine this quiet street, nestled amidst a bustling cityscape, bearing the name of a poet who celebrated the tranquility of rural life. It’s a gentle reminder of the diverse influences that shape a city’s character. The street’s length is a mere 131 meters, and its width a modest 6 meters. As you stroll along Rue Francis Jammes, take a moment to appreciate this tranquil space. It serves as a subtle nod to a writer who found beauty in simplicity.
