SAINT PAUL
The space between two key streets of the city, planted with two rows of trees, exists since the extension of the Rue de Rivoli from the former Place du Marché-Saint-Jean to Saint-Antoine Street, and was created by Baron Haussmann in 1854. In the center, just 8 minutes walk from the Villa Beaumarchais, the church or parish Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis, which represents a place of Roman Catholic worship with an ornamental facade that was built by the Jesuits in the 17th century.
