Rue Saint-Denis, Historical street in Les Halles and Bonne-Nouvelle, Paris, France

The 1334-meter-long Rue Saint-Denis extends through the 1st and 2nd arrondissements of Paris, with a width of 30 meters for traffic flow.

The Romans established this route in the 1st century, which later became a pilgrimage path to the Basilica of Saint-Denis during medieval times.

The street contains numerous theaters, cafes, and shops, reflecting centuries of Parisian entertainment and commercial activities within its stone buildings.

Several metro stations provide access to Rue Saint-Denis, with stops at Châtelet, Étienne Marcel, and Réaumur-Sébastopol along its length.

The street features the Porte Saint-Denis, a monumental arch commissioned by Louis XIV in 1672 to mark the northern gateway of Paris.
