The smallest street in Paris is called ‘Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche‘ (The Fishing Cat!) which is 29 metres long and 2.50 metres wide. It was opened to the public in 1540 and was originally called ‘Rue des Etuves’ and then shortly after renamed ‘Rue du Renard’. In 1832 it received it’s new name and was shut to the public by two huge cast iron doors that have since been removed.
The road can be found at n°9 quai St Michel 75005 (Metro Saint Michel) and finishes at 12 rue de la Huchette 75005. If you walk from up the road from the quai you will find yourself in a small road (rue de la Huchette) which is full of small Greek restaurants that specialise in kebabs, here you can buy a kebab served with french fries and fresh salad and a soda for € 5.50. If you fancy eating here, firstly walk from one end to the other and check out the one you like best first!.
