“Did you know this charming little street hides a rather grand history?” I ask, gesturing towards Avenue du Beaujolais. Despite its modest appearance, Avenue du Beaujolais boasts a past intertwined with royalty and revolution. This street was named after Louis Charles, Count of Beaujolais. He was the son of Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans. Established in 1784, it was carved out of the former Palais-Royal Garden when the Duke decided to add stone galleries. Originally called “Passage de Beaujolais,” this street briefly bore the name “Rue d’Arcole” from 1797 to 1814, commemorating the Battle of Arcole. Interestingly, it was also briefly known as “Rue Hoche” in 1849, in honor of Revolutionary General Lazare Hoche. The name, however, always seemed to revert back to Beaujolais, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Duke’s family. As you wander down Avenue du Beaujolais today, remember that you’re walking through a small piece of Parisian history, where whispers of royal grandeur mingle with echoes of revolution.
