Cour de l'Étoile-d'Or, Protected courtyard in Sainte-Marguerite district, Paris, France

The Cour de l'Étoile-d'Or is a courtyard in Paris that opens from a narrow alley off Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine. Historic buildings on both sides create an elongated rectangular space tucked away from the main street.

Construction of the Cour de l'Étoile-d'Or began around 1640 with a house, courtyard and garden. In the 17th century furniture craftsmen moved in, following the faubourg Saint-Antoine trade. In the 18th century the owner replaced part of the garden with a second courtyard for professional use, and 19th-century workshops and industrial buildings removed the garden entirely. The house's 17th-century staircase railing was listed in 1928, most facades and roofs in 1997.

The name comes from the main sign that once hung in the courtyard, the Golden Star. In 1998, during a rehabilitation by architect Didier Drummond, the second courtyard was named Cour des Shadoks after Jacques Rouxel, creator of the animated series Les Shadoks, who lived here.

The entrance is at 75 Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, about 50 m east of Rue de Charonne and 30 m west of the Cour des Trois-Frères; Place de la Bastille lies some 300 m west. The first courtyard is reached through a porch under the street building, and the nearest metro is Ledru-Rollin, whose exit stands across the street.

The 1928 listing covers the 17th-century staircase railing of the former pleasure house; most facades, roofs and some staircases were added in 1997. The second courtyard was named Cour des Shadoks in 1998, during its rehabilitation by architect Didier Drummond, after animator Jacques Rouxel, creator of Les Shadoks, who lived here.
