Rue de Belleville is a street in the 19th and 20th arrondissement of Paris.

History

[edit]

Rue de Belleville is an old street, dating as far back as 1670. In the mid-nineteenth century, it had a different name for each of two segments: Rue de Paris and Rue du Parc. This contiguous right-of-way was renamed as Rue de Bellville in 1868.[1]

The name Rue de Belleville is related to an old village of the same name, that was later annexed to the City of Paris.[2]
