Have you ever wondered why a street is named after a reservoir? Today, we stand in front of the Rue des Réservoirs, a street in Sèvres, a small town just a short distance from Paris. The name, “Rue des Réservoirs,” translates to “Street of the Reservoirs.” It was named after the vast reservoirs that once stood here, supplying water to the nearby royal palace at Versailles. They were built in the 17th century by Louis XIV. But the reservoirs, sadly, are long gone. You can still see the memory of them in the name of the street. It’s an interesting reminder of how the landscape changes over time. What was once a place bustling with the movement of water is now a quiet residential street lined with charming houses. This street was important to the building of Versailles, and you can almost imagine the waterwheels turning and the splashing of the fountains in the grand Palace as you pass through this modest street.
