History and Visit rue Jardinet in Paris

Established in the 13th century, Rue Jardinet is a historically significant lane in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. Located in the Mint district, it begins at Cour de Rohan and ends at No. 12 rue de l’Eperon. The street stretches for 80 meters and has a width of 10 meters, as set by the Royal Decree of August 22, 1840. Previously, this lane was known as Rue Mignon and later Rue Hautefeuille. Its extension was once named Rue des Petits-Champs. Rue Jardinet has also been referred to as Rue de Escureul and Rue Escureux throughout its long history. The current name originates from Jaillot’s garden, which was part of the Hotel de Vendome, situated between this street and Rue Danton.

Rue Jardinet holds numerous historical memories. At No. 2 and No. 4, once part of the Cute College, René Maupeou purchased No. 4 in 1690. He was a parliament president and bought the property from Leboutz, the master of requests, whose family had acquired it from the Gobelin family twenty years earlier. No. 3 was owned by Gibert, and No. 9 and No. 41 belonged to Marquise Houartigny. The street is notably linked to Camille Saint-Saëns, born at No. 3 on October 9, 1835. Saint-Saëns was a famous French pianist, organist, and post-romantic composer. His works include twelve operas—most famously Samson and Delilah from 1877—numerous oratorios, five symphonies, five piano concertos, three violin concertos, and two cello concertos.
