The Rue de Stockholm, a quiet street in the 8th arrondissement, hides secrets. Just a few streets away lies the bustling Place de l’Europe. The Rue de Stockholm was built around the time the Place de l’Europe came into being, in 1831. It was once much longer, stretching to the Rue d’Amsterdam, but the construction of the Gare Saint-Lazare station in 1859 cut it short. The Rue de Stockholm is named after the Swedish capital, Stockholm, in recognition of its position in the “Europe” neighborhood. It’s a small, almost inconspicuous street, but it was once a fashionable address in the 19th century and boasts an interesting link to Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese communist revolutionary and politician, who stayed briefly at number 10 in 1919. Even though the Rue de Stockholm itself may not be famous for architectural landmarks, it provides a peaceful glimpse into the past of a historic and lively area of Paris.
