history
The Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine is one of the oldest streets in Paris, but was for a long time outside the Paris city walls , as the name suggests; because Faubourg means suburb . Nevertheless, the street has always had an exposed location because it had to be driven through on the way from the center of Paris to the east in order to get to Vincennes and its castle .
The suburb of Saint-Antoine grew in the Middle Ages around the Saint-Antoine-des-Champs monastery , which was built towards the end of the 12th century.
The real growth of the suburb of Saint-Antoine began in the 15th century when, on special instructions from the king, all craftsmen living here obtained tax exemption. This special privilege, as well as the geographical proximity to the Seine , via which all timber transports to Paris at that time, made the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine the Parisian main street of the wood and furniture craftsmen who settled in the backyards and adjoining alleys.
Thanks to the furniture makers located here , the street gained national fame and so the famous École Boulle , which is characteristic of French furniture making , is almost logically located in this street. Even though many of the workshops have since disappeared, furniture making is still present, however mainly through shops and showrooms .
