Rue Pétrelle

The rue Pétrelle extends for 239 meters from rue du Faubourg-Poissonnière to rue de Rochechouart, maintaining a consistent width of 10 meters throughout its length.

The street received its name from Mr. Pétrelle, a landowner and architect who constructed several buildings along this route during the late 18th century.

A significant labor event occurred on July 14, 1889, when the International Workers Congress gathered in the Pétrelle hall to mark the French Revolution centenary.

Restaurant Le Pétrelle at number 34 serves dinner from Tuesday to Saturday between 20:00 and 22:00, accepting major credit cards including American Express and Visa.

The street underwent multiple name changes, including rue de Jolivet in 1811 and rue de Marlboroug, inspired by a sign depicting the great Marlborough during the Revolution.
