“An old local spot? What kind of name is ‘Cardinoux’ anyway?” someone might have asked a century ago. The Allée des Cardinoux, a hidden path in the 19th arrondissement of Paris, takes its name from an old local spot. It’s a private pathway, tucked away from the bustling streets. Imagine strolling along its short length, the sounds of the city fading as you delve deeper into this quiet corner. The Allée des Cardinoux was officially named in 1998. Before that, it was simply known as “Voie DQ/19,” a name as unremarkable as the path seemed. But the change to Allée des Cardinoux connected this small space to a piece of Parisian history, even if the exact details of “Les Cardinoux” remain a mystery. This street, with its intriguing name, is a reminder that even in a city as well-documented as Paris, there are still hidden corners with stories waiting to be discovered.
