Is it merely a coincidence that Rue des Bordeaux, a street named after humble farms, would find itself bridging the bustling Rue de Paris and the serene Quai des Carrières? Here we stand before Rue des Bordeaux, a street whispering tales of a Paris from a bygone era. It began as a humble path in 1490. It connected the road from Paris to the quaint village of Conflans and the flowing Seine River. This path, marking the boundary between Conflans and the bustling Bourg des Carrières, eventually extended. It stretched from Rue de Conflans to where Rue de Paris now stands. This expansion happened shortly after the relocation of the Paris road in 1690. You can see this early version of Rue des Bordeaux on the detailed Roussel map from 1730. Interestingly, the name “Bordeaux” itself harks back to the word “borde.” “Borde” refers to the small farms or homesteads that once dotted the edges of grand estates. It’s a charming reminder of the area’s rural past. The street we see today stands as a testament to time’s passage. It has evolved from a simple path to a vital artery in the heart of this vibrant city.
