To prepare this article, we went out on a weekend and traveled around Paris from place to place, doing research until we found the widest boulevard in Paris. Champs-Elysees I thought it was; Or rather, I wasn't thinking about it, but if someone had told me, I would have said "I guess it is." Whereas Avenue Foche, the widest boulevard in Paris'mus…

Avenue Foche (avönü foş), Triumphal archwhere Charles de Gaulle SquareIt is the one of the 12 major streets leading to the east-southeast side. 16. boroughAt first glance, Avenue Foche in , doesn't seem that big. However, Zwell done JewelryWhen you enter the boulevard from the side where it is and proceed a little further, you notice that there is a green area on both sides of the boulevard you see in the middle, on the right and left, and the other lanes of the boulevard on the left and right of this green area. Maybe those other roads could have been given different street names, but they are all called Avenue Foche and Avenue Foch, which is 1.300 meters long, is exactly 120 meters wide..

Avenue Foche Porte DauphineIt extends to and from there Boulevard PéripheriqueIt connects to . And right behind Forest of Boulogne There is… There is also a wonderful car park under this boulevard.

Saint michelin, from the square Our Lady towards the side Seine River If you walk along the shore, Hotel Les Rives de Notre-Dame   Hotel Notre Dame Saint Michel You will see a narrow passage between them. here it is Rue du Chat Qui Péche, the narrowest street in Paris...

"cat fishingThis street meaning " Quai Saint-Michel Huchette Street It is among. Rue du Chat Qui Péche (dream of pesh or down and down) impresses me not because it is the narrowest but because it is one of the most cheerful street names. Aside from the beauty of his name, some time ago, the 80-something year old French-Turkish exchange My friend Moris told me a nice story about his holidays in Turkey, and I remember that when I heard the name of this street. Moris explained in an entertaining way how a cat wandered around the fishermen on the beach in Kabataş, Istanbul, caught the fish and ran away. Of course, the story becomes even more enjoyable when the narrator is an 80-something year old trying to learn Turkish...

Rue du Chat qui Péche is a neglected street; 29 meters long and only 1,80 meters wide. Actually 12. boroughin “Sentier des MerisiersThere is another narrow road called "Rue", and it is only 1 meter wide, but for some reason it is not called "Rue"; Therefore - although it is open to debate - the title of "narrowest street" goes to our "fishing cat" :) Notre Dame Cathedralbut the famous bookstore nearby Shakespeare and CompanyLooks like you should see it too. If they are to be seen nearby Saint michel It is waiting for you in the article.

Smallest House in Paris:

And now it's time for a very interesting house in Paris. In fact, “I wonder where is the narrowest house in Paris?” When I started researching, I found not only the narrowest house but also the smallest house. The house is not a house, it is literally a hut :)

Again Turkish QuarterIn a region that we can say is near 10. borough'in 10th arrondissement of the town hall on the side street,39 de la rue du Château d'Eaulocated at ” This two-storey house is only 1,40 meters wide!  M4 of the metro Considering that the tiny house, which you can reach by getting off at Château d'Eau station, is 3 meters deep and 5 meters high, we can say that it is a two-storey hut, but as you know, they consider it a home. More precisely, the ground floor is a shop and the upper floor is - I think - a house. The funny thing is that you can go up to the upper floor from the next building, because there is no room for stairs in this house :)

In fact, it is currently very neglected for such an important place. Unfortunately, the shop is also a “denim shop”… Still, it is a very cute and sympathetic place in terms of idea. Imagine, I was thinking of moving the trash can at the door aside while taking the photo, but I decided to leave it where it was, in front of the door, to give an idea of ​​the "width" of the house :) Saint Martin CanalI suggest you don't forget to see .

Oldest House in Paris:

Let's see where the oldest house in Paris is. In fact, for a long time the oldest house in Paris was located at 3 Rue Volta 75003 and was thought to date back to 1300, but in 1979 it was discovered that the house dates back to 1644. Our home 51, rue de Montmorency 75003 Paris It is located at and is much older, all the way back to dating from 1407. In other words, men built this apartment building before the conquest of Istanbul... Moreover, this place was once thought of as a lodging for poor people. Here today, it looks very beautiful from the outside, Auberge Nicolas Flamel There is a restaurant called. Maybe you'd like to have a meal here?
