The Rue Oudry is a street in the neighborhood Quartier de la Salpêtrière of Arrondissement des Gobelins , the 13th arrondissement of Paris . This side street, which is only 100 meters long and around ten meters wide, leads from Rue Pirandello in a north-westerly direction to Rue Le Brun . Right at the beginning of the described path, the Rue du Jura branches off to the right .
history
The street was built in the 17th century and was named after Jean-Baptiste Oudry on December 28, 1894 . From 1733 to 1755 Oudry was director of the Paris tapestry manufactory . Previously, the street was called Rue de la Voie-Creuse - also: Rue Creuse - (roughly: Hohle Gasse) and was renamed Rue des Cornes (Hörnergasse) in 1789 - because of ox horns on the fences along the way.
Known residents
In 1916 the Russian revolutionary and exile Leon Trotsky lived in the street with his family.
