Have you ever wondered who Louise-Émilie de La Tour d’Auvergne was? Maybe you know her from the nearby rue Louise-Émilie de La Tour d’Auvergne. Well, Impasse Louise-Émilie de La Tour d’Auvergne is named after the same person. It’s a small alley, a cul-de-sac, only 34 meters long and 10 meters wide, but it has an interesting history. Louise-Émilie was an abbess at the Abbey of Montmartre. She was born in 1667 and died in Paris in 1737. She was a member of the House of La Tour d’Auvergne, a noble family. She was the daughter of Frédéric-Maurice de La Tour d’Auvergne, Count of Auvergne. The alley itself was opened in 1896 as ‘Impasse de la Tour-d’Auvergne.’ But this changed in 1900. The Paris City Council changed the name to ‘Impasse Louise-Émilie de La Tour-d’Auvergne’ to honor women who were part of Parisian history. This alleyway is a quiet oasis in the bustling city. It’s located not far from the metro station Saint-Georges. It feels like a hidden haven where you can take a moment to pause and reflect on the centuries of history that surround you.
