Rue Crémieux, Cobblestone pedestrian street in 12th arrondissement, France.
The narrow street extends 144 meters between Rue de Lyon and Rue de Bercy, featuring rows of small houses painted in pastel colors.
Originally called Avenue Millaud in 1865, the street was renamed in 1897 to honor Adolphe Crémieux, a French lawyer and Minister of Justice.
The decorative elements of the houses include painted shutters, flower boxes, and trompe-l'œil artwork that reflects French residential architecture.
Located near Gare de Lyon station, the street is accessible via metro lines 1 and 14 or RER A and D at Gare de Lyon station.
A plaque at number 8 marks the water level reached during the 1910 Paris flood, when the Seine rose 1.75 meters above the street.

Paris rewards visitors who venture beyond the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame. The Musée d'Orsay houses one of the world's finest Impressionist collections, while the Centre Pompidou showcases contemporary art in its distinctive inside-out building. Below ground, the Catacombs wind through tunnels lined with the remains of six million Parisians. Sainte-Chapelle preserves 15 towering windows of 13th-century stained glass that fill the Gothic chapel with colored light. Markets like Marché d'Aligre bring together fresh produce, vintage furniture, and antiques under one roof. The city's neighborhoods and waterways offer equally rewarding discoveries. Le Marais combines medieval architecture with boutiques, galleries, and restaurants in its narrow streets. The Coulée Verte René-Dumont transforms an abandoned railway viaduct into an elevated garden path. Along the Canal Saint-Martin, tree-lined banks invite afternoon walks and waterside gatherings. Père Lachaise Cemetery serves as both a park and the burial ground for writers, artists, and musicians. The Musée Rodin displays sculptures in an 18th-century mansion surrounded by gardens, while the Musée Jacquemart-André presents European masterworks in an elegant private residence. Rue Crémieux's pastel-painted facades create one of the city's most photographed corners.
