Navigating the 18th arrondissement, we find ourselves on Rue Vincent Compoint. This street, a modest 195 meters long and 12 meters wide, holds a story. Rue Vincent Compoint is named after a local cultivator and landowner, Vincent Compoint. He owned the very land the street was built upon around 1860. The Compoint family’s legacy extends beyond this single street. Their name graces other Parisian locations like Rue Angélique-Compoint and Villa Compoint. Some historians even suggest a connection to Rue Saint-Vincent, adding another layer to the family’s influence on the city’s landscape. Originally, Rue Vincent Compoint extended further south, connecting to Rue Montcalm. However, in 1884, a portion of the street was separated to create Rue du Pôle-Nord, shortening Rue Vincent Compoint to its current length. Today, as you stand on Rue Vincent Compoint, you’re walking on land once owned by the man whose name it bears. It’s a tangible connection to the history of the 18th arrondissement. A quiet reminder of how a local cultivator’s name became etched into the fabric of Paris.
