Rue des Colonnes, Protected historic street in 2nd arrondissement, France
The Rue des Colonnes extends for 71 meters between Rue Feydeau and Rue du Quatre-Septembre, featuring covered walkways with classical columns on both sides.
Built in 1795 during the French Revolution, this street served as a connecting path between Rue des Filles-Saint-Thomas and the Feydeau Theater constructed in 1791.
The street's architecture incorporates Greek-inspired columns reminiscent of Paestum temples, representing the neoclassical design principles of Revolutionary-era Paris.
The passage measures 7.75 meters in width and contains both residential buildings and commercial spaces, with direct access from the covered colonnade section.
This Revolutionary period street influenced the architectural design of future Parisian developments, including the planning of the renowned Rue de Rivoli.
