The Rue de Beaujolais (French pronunciation: [ʁy də boʒɔlɛ]) is a street in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France.




Location


The 128-meter-long street has an approximately east-west orientation. It starts at the Rue de Valois and ends at the Rue de Montpensier. The vehicles can drive from west to east only.
It is equally distant from Métro stations Bourse (Line 3) and Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre (Lines 1 and 7).




History


The street was named after Louis Charles, Count of Beaujolais, the son of Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans.
The street was established in 1784 on a part of the former Palais-Royal Garden when the Duke of Orléans had the stone galleries built. At this time, the street was named the Passage de Beaujolais.
Between 1797 and 1814, the street took the name Rue d'Arcole to commemorate the Battle of Arcole. In 1849, it was briefly named Rue Hoche after General of the Revolutionary Lazare Hoche.
Until the mid-19th century, the street was called Rue de Beaujolais-Palais-Royal several times to distinguish it from the other streets with similar names, like the Rue de Beaujolais-Saint-Honoré (disestablished 1852) and the Rue de Beaujolais-au-Marais.
