Imagine stepping back in time, walking along a narrow, Parisian street lined with charming buildings. That’s Rue Richomme, a charming street in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Its name pays tribute to Joseph Theodore Richomme, a talented engraver who lived in the mid-19th century. But before the street was named for him, it was known as Passage Leconte or Passage Lecante. This sleepy little street was once bustling with life. Shopkeepers sold their wares, while children played in the cobbled streets. In 1904, the street was shortened to create Rue Erckmann-Chatrian. Rue Richomme is a delightful destination for all those who love to explore the hidden gems of Paris, a quiet backwater amid a teeming city.
