Name origin

The Rue du Faubourg-Poissonnière owes its name to the fact that it crossed the hamlet ( Faubourg Poissonnière ) located outside the Porte de la Poissonnerie on the perimeter wall , which began in the north with the Rue des Poissonniers and in the south with the Rue Poissonnière to Chemin des Poissonniers .

Faubourg comes from the old French expression "fors le bourg" (fors, Latin foris = outside; borc = bourg ; forborc around 1200, forsbours around 1220).

history

In 1648 the street was called Chaussée de la Nouvelle France because it led to the hamlet of Nouvelle France , which was founded in 1642 near an old vineyard.

In 1660 it was renamed Rue Sainte-Anne ( after an earlier church ) that was planned to be built at number 77.

As early as 1770, Claude-Martin Goupy was speculating in Faubourg-Poissonnière about plots that were sold by the municipality of Filles-Dieu , whose entrepreneur he was, and that played an important role in the urbanization of the district.

During the three glorious days , the street was the scene of confrontation between the insurgents and the troops.

The current name indicates that in the quarter ( French faubourg ) fish was traded or processed (French poissonnière ).

Chapelle Sainte-Anne

The chapel belonged to the Nouvelle France district. It was at number 77 between Rue Bleue and Rue de Montholon .

On March 19, 1655, the abbess of Montmartre , Marie de Beauvilliers , allowed the confectionary seller Roland de Bure to convert a house that he owned in this suburb into a chapel . He signed it over to the abbey in 1656. The chapel was consecrated on July 25, 1757 and the Archbishop allowed the Liturgy of the Hours to be celebrated here on the condition that the Curé of Montmartre be appointed pastor . The process between the parishes of Saint-Laurent and Monmartre was decided in 1723 in favor of the abbess of Montmartre.

The chapel, which gave its name to Rue du Faubourg-Poissonnière in the 17th and 18th centuries of Rue Sainte-Anne or Rue du Faubourg Sainte-Anne, was closed in 1790, sold as a national property and demolished in 1795.
