“A street named after flowers?” someone might ask. Yes, right here before us is Rue des Glaïeuls, tucked away in the bustling Parisian landscape. Located in the 20th arrondissement, this charming street holds a unique story. Rue des Glaïeuls translates to “Street of the Gladioli.” This street earned its name not from some grand gardener or floral spectacle but from its proximity to the historic parks of Château de Ménilmontant and Les Bruyères. Imagine a time when these parks, filled with vibrant gladioli and other blooms, stretched out, and Rue des Glaïeuls marked a path near their boundaries. Over time, the city landscape shifted. The construction of the bustling Boulevard Périphérique in 1969 redrew the map, shortening Rue des Glaïeuls. Despite these changes, the street retains a whisper of that floral past, a reminder of a time when Paris smelled a little sweeter in this corner of the 20th arrondissement.
