Rue de l'Yvette, Street in the 16th arrondissement, Paris, France
Rue de l'Yvette is a residential street in the Auteuil neighborhood of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France. It runs between rue Jasmin and rue du Docteur-Blanche, lined with apartment buildings and a few notable structures such as the former studio of sculptor Henri Bouchard at number 25.
Originally called sente du Four, the street was part of the former commune of Auteuil. It was renamed rue de l'Yvette in 1877 and later extended to rue Jasmin in 1881.
The street's name comes from the Yvette River, a small river in the Paris basin. Residents often stroll along the sidewalks, and the area has a village-like feel with local shops and cafes nearby.
The street is one-way for cars, so walking is the best way to explore it. It is close to Jasmin metro station on line 9, making it easy to reach from other parts of Paris.
At number 1, an apartment building from 1911 features atlantes and caryatids, which are rare in Paris. The street also has a former art school at number 34, where engraving was taught.
