Rue Chanoinesse, Île de la Cité
Quartier Notre-Dame, 4th arrondissement
Paris, July 2002
“Rue Chanoinesse is a street on the Île de la Cité, in the heart of Paris, in the 4th arrondissement. Located on the eastern tip of the Île de la Cité, facing the Île Saint-Louis, the street owes its name to the many canons who lived there. These members of the clergy were attached to the service of the nearby Notre-Dame Cathedral. A canon's house built in 1512 can still be seen at number 24. Rue Chanoinesse was the main artery of the Notre-Dame cloister, a district delimited by the metropolitan church, the Hôtel-Dieu and the river, which ‘formed like another island, another city, in the island of the Cité’. Located next to the cathedral , it bears this name in memory of the Canons' residence.” (Rue Chanoinesse, Wikipedia)
