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.

A very cute little cobblestone street just steps away from the Gare de Lyon. It's beautiful and relaxing!
