NOW A STREET THAT IS PLEASANT AND PEDESTRIAN


MEDIEVAL VESTIGES AND ELEGANT 18TH-CENTURY HOUSES
IN A SETTING OF MODERN COOL

A hostel for pilgrims that was just within the rampart, a passage that came to separate Catholic and Protestant graves, the homes of wealthy merchants:




Rue Greneta, to the right of rue Saint-Denis.

Steps away, arches highlight the "noble floor," because it has only one flight of stairs to climb over a courtyard for horses, carriages and kitchen.

The ambiance now is amiably commercial...


Corner, rues Saint-Denis and Greneta.

With small houses that give a sense of intimacy.

One block away, that changes.

End of this section.
