Name origin

This path led past the Église Saint-André-des-Arts , which was formerly called Saint-André-de-Laas and later Saint-André-des-Arcs. The street was named after the Germain François Poullain de Saint-Foix bows and arrows were sold here.

history

The street layout partially corresponds to the western axis of the old Lutetia , the Roman city, the center of which was in what is now the Latin Quarter ( Luxembourg , Pantheon ).

It originally ran from the Port de Buci over the city ​​walls of Philippe Auguste to the Place Saint-André-des-Arts and past the Église Saint-André-des-Arts and initially ended near the Rue des Grands-Augustins , where obviously a gate in the city wall Ludwig VI. found. Then it went on to the Rue de la Contrescarpe-Dauphine , where the so-called "Porte de Bici" was located, the demolition of which was ordered by the Conseil du Roi on August 19, 1672. The extension outside the city wall was called “Rue du Pilori”.

Around the year 1000, an oratory in this place was converted into a church. It was at the entrance of a road that led from the Petit-Pont to the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés , crossing the Clos de Laas, which was then a vineyard of this abbey, which was officially assigned to it since 1179. The parish of Saint-André was created in 1211 through the spin-off of the parish of Saint-Sulpice, which was part of the Saint-Germain Abbey, on part of the territory of this parish within the ramparts built by Philippe-Auguste between 1200 and 1211 on the left bank. Her parishioners were bow traders and she took the name Saint-André des Arcs.

Around 1280–1300, the street in Le Dit des rues de Paris by the poet Guillot de Paris is cited as “Rue Saint-Andri”. It was also called “Rue Saint-André de Laas” because it is located in the area of ​​the Clos de Laas, which belonged to the abbey. Abbot Hugues sold a large part of it in 1479; the place was already inhabited at that time. A statement from Fouret, priest and headmaster, Escomel, headmaster, Robert, Gachon, Tessier, Badon, Pajot, Mouton, Laurent, de Saint-Priest, Savoye and Chapuis, scholarship holders, recalled that these houses were a result of tax write-offs are exempt, with the exception of a house overlooking rue de l'Hirondelle and rue Saint-André-des-Arts, indicated on the Cheval-Noir sign.

Around 1670, a certain Joseph ran a café at the end of Notre-Dame and Saint-André-des-Arts streets that didn't work. This mode actually began in 1689 when Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli opened the Procope café . Madame Jean Edouard, the sister of the composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier, lived here in the 17th century . She went with him to the concerts organized by Abbot Mathieu, parish priest and friend of Italy. Nicolas Lémery lived in a house on this street; he died here on June 19, 1715.

The former Église Saint-André-des-Arts was sold on the 4th Fructidor V ( French Revolutionary Calendar ) and demolished in 1808; it would now be in the same place as the square of the same name, at Saint-Germain-des-Prés Abbey , which was also destroyed and of which only the church remained. A statue of Saint André in a niche on the corner of Rue André – Mazet commemorates this; a virgin statue stood here until 1910.

The road was changed in 1836/1837 and finally completed in 1853. In 1870 there were again major changes.
