Did a Roman ever walk down Rue René Goscinny? Probably not, but here we stand on a street named after the man who brought those very Romans to life, alongside Asterix, Obelix, and a whole village of indomitable Gauls. Rue René Goscinny, nestled in Paris’s 13th arrondissement, pays tribute to the renowned comic book writer. This street isn’t just a name on a map. It’s a walk through Goscinny’s world. Embedded in the sidewalks and hanging from lampposts are speech bubbles bursting with iconic lines from his creations. “These Romans are crazy!” proclaims one, instantly transporting us to a scene of chaotic Gaulish resistance. “When do we eat?” another cries out, echoing Obelix’s eternal quest for boar. Rue René Goscinny also houses the Centre d’Animation René Goscinny, a community hub where locals can share ideas and participate in the artistic life of the neighborhood. The very building seems to echo the spirit of collaboration that Goscinny fostered in his work. Even more, the offices of Izneo, a digital comics distributor, are located here. This street truly is a testament to Goscinny’s enduring legacy. He brought laughter and adventure to millions, and this street, with its playful reminders of his genius, keeps that spirit alive. So next time you find yourself in Paris, take a detour down Rue René Goscinny. You might just hear the faint echoes of a Gaulish village, forever resisting the Roman Empire.
