The Rue Beautreillis is a street in Le Marais, a historic area of the 4th arrondissement in central Paris, France.




Location and access


The Rue Beautreillis, almost parallel to the Rue Saint-Paul and the Rue du Petit-Musc, begins at the Rue des Lions-Saint-Paul and ends at the Rue Saint-Antoine. It successively crosses the Rue Charles-V and the Rue Neuve-Saint-Pierre. Like many streets in old Paris, its narrow width is uneven and its buildings include traces of its long history of houses, hotels, and buildings dating from different eras.




Origin of the name


The street's name, attributed in 1555, is in memory of the Hôtel de Beautreillis, which was built on the site of the Hôtel Saint-Pol, and which takes its name from the vines against the walls of the garden.




History


The street is cited under the names of Rue Girard-Bocquet and Rue de Beau-trillis in a manuscript of 1636 where the records indicate that it is "found orderly, room and full of mud and filth".
By ministerial decision of 6 September 1836, the length of this road was increased from 188 m to 231 m by absorption of the Rue Gérard-Beauquet (taken from the name of the owner of the Hôtel de Beautreillis), formerly the Rue du Pistolet.
It was at a barricade parallel to the Rue Beautreillis on the Rue Saint-Antoine that General François de Négrier was killed in June 1848.
