Rue de Richelieu
The Rue de Richelieu (French pronunciation: [ʁy də ʁiʃ(ə)ljø]) is a long street of Paris, starting in the south of the 1st arrondissement at the Comédie-Française and ending in the north of the 2nd arrondissement. For the first half of the 19th century, before Georges-Eugène Haussmann redefined Paris with grand boulevards, it was one of the most fashionable streets of Paris.
It is notable for the National Library of France and for scattered coin dealers and currency changers, being near the Paris Bourse, the stock market.
The street is named for the Cardinal de Richelieu, chief minister of King Louis XIII from 1624 to 1642.
The street was originally called the Rue Royale and then Rue de Richelieu soon after.[citation needed] The name was changed to the Rue de la Loi in 1793 during the French Revolution; its name was restored to Richelieu in 1806.
