The Rue Daguerre is a 630 meter long and 15 meter wide street in the 14th arrondissement of Paris .

location

Rue Daguerre towards avenue du Général-Leclerc

Rue Daguerre is at the intersection of the Montparnasse (north), Petit-Montrouge (south-east) and Plaisance (south-west) quarters . It is located in the immediate vicinity of the Cimetière Montparnasse , which runs parallel only one block further north, and the Catacombs of Paris , the entrance of which is on Place Denfert-Rochereau , only about a hundred meters north of the beginning of Rue Daguerre. The Tour Montparnasse and Gare Montparnasse are also in the immediate vicinity.

Name origin

Louis Daguerre in 1844

The street was named in honor of the painter Louis Daguerre (1787–1851), who invented the first marketable photographic process: the daguerreotype named after him .

history

According to the historical city map Plan de Roussel , it already existed in 1730 as a path in the municipality of Montrouge , where it was added to the Paris road network in 1863 in its northern course .

The street was given its current name in 1867. Before that, it was known as Rue de la Pépinière because the nursery of Jacques Philippe Martin Cels' grandchildren was once located at its western end .

The street is home to a large number of small shops (mainly grocery stores for fruit and vegetables, fish, meat, cheese and wine) as well as cafés and restaurants that, compared to other areas, are home to a large number of small shops , especially in the cobblestone pedestrian area near the Denfert-Rochereau metro station from Paris with a comparable standard, are still relatively inexpensive. Nevertheless, the ravages of time are also gnawing at Rue Daguerre, which is evident from the demolition of the formerly covered market in the pedestrian zone to the east of the street in the early 1990s .

Rue Daguerre is a very busy street, during the day because of its numerous shops and in the evening because of the cafes and restaurants. The street freed from its poor past and has developed into a street of the upper middle class from the 1980s onwards.
