Location and access

The Rue Beautreillis, almost parallel to the Rue Saint-Paul and the Rue du Petit-Musc, begins at the Rue des Lions-Saint-Paul and ends at the Rue Saint-Antoine. It successively crosses the Rue Charles-V and the Rue Neuve-Saint-Pierre. Like many streets in old Paris, its narrow width is uneven and its buildings include traces of its long history of houses, hotels, and buildings dating from different eras.[citation needed]

Origin of the name

The street's name, attributed in 1555, is in memory of the Hôtel de Beautreillis, which was built on the site of the Hôtel Saint-Pol, and which takes its name from the vines against the walls of the garden.[citation needed]

History

The street is cited under the names of Rue Girard-Bocquet[2] and Rue de Beau-trillis in a manuscript of 1636 where the records indicate that it is "found orderly, room and full of mud and filth".[citation needed]

By ministerial decision of 6 September 1836, the length of this road was increased from 188 m to 231 m by absorption of the Rue Gérard-Beauquet (taken from the name of the owner of the Hôtel de Beautreillis), formerly the Rue du Pistolet.[3]

It was at a barricade parallel to the Rue Beautreillis on the Rue Saint-Antoine that General François de Négrier was killed in June 1848.[citation needed]
