“A street named after pyramids, here in Paris?” someone might ask. You might be surprised to find Rue de la Pyramide nestled among the bustling streets of Paris. This street, however, doesn’t lead to ancient Egyptian wonders. It leads to a different kind of marvel: the Place des Pyramides. This square is a tribute to a pivotal moment in French history: Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign and the Battle of the Pyramids in 1798. While the pyramids of Giza are thousands of miles away, this street and square stand as a reminder of France’s global reach and Napoleon’s indelible mark on the nation’s story.
