Rue d'Enghien

Rue d'Enghien links two older commercial roads in the right-bank center of the city. The street passes through a densely built neighborhood where apartment buildings line both sides, with ground-floor shops and cafés opening directly onto the pavement.

The street opened in 1792 under the name Rue Mably. It was renamed 22 years later to honor Louis Antoine de Bourbon-Condé, Duke of Enghien.

The building at number 16 houses the Ahmet-Kaya Kurdish Cultural Center, contributing to the multicultural character of the neighborhood.

Strasbourg-Saint-Denis and Château d'Eau metro stations stand within a short walk at either end. Both connect to several lines running toward different parts of the city.

From 1878 to 1944, numbers 18 and 20 housed the offices of Le Petit Parisien, one of the most widely read newspapers in France during that era. The printing presses ran around the clock to produce the daily circulation.
