Nestled in the heart of Paris’ 18th arrondissement is Rue Jacques Catric. It’s a short street, a mere 80 meters long and 12 meters wide. But don’t let its size fool you. Rue Jacques Catric has a story to tell. This street, now named after the famous French navigator Jacques Cartier, wasn’t always known by this name. It first appeared in 1855 as a quiet impasse, known as Impasse Andrieux. By 1869, it had graduated to a full-fledged street, becoming Rue Andrieux. It finally received its current name in 1875, honoring the explorer who claimed Canada for France. Rue Jacques Catric begins its journey at 228 Rue Championnet and ends at 20-28 Rue Lagille. It’s a charming little street in the Grandes-Carrières district. So next time you find yourself in Paris, take a detour to Rue Jacques Catric. Reflect on the voyages of its namesake and the quiet evolution of this small Parisian street.
