What secrets does a name hold? Here on Rue Fénelon, the air whispers tales of a man who inspired this very street. Rue Fénelon, a passage in the 10th arrondissement, takes its name from François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon. Known simply as Fénelon, he was a prominent figure in French history. This churchman, theologian, pedagogue, and writer left his mark on the intellectual and spiritual landscape of his time. But Rue Fénelon is more than just a namesake. It’s a journey through time, back to the days when the grounds of Saint-Lazare were being divided. Imagine the transformation, the birth of new streets, and amongst them, this very street. As you walk along Rue Fénelon, remember its namesake and the enduring power of words and ideas.
