TheRue des Rosiers (French pronunciation:[ʁydeʁozje]), which means "street of the rosebushes," is a street in the4th arrondissement ofParis, France. It begins at the Rue Malher and proceeds northwest across the Rue Pavée, Rue Ferdinand Duval, Rue des Écouffes, and Rue des Hospitalières Saint-Gervais before it ends at the Rue Vieille du Temple.
The Rue des Rosiers lies at the center of the Jewish quarter, unofficially called "thePletzl" (Yiddish for "little place"). Shopping hours are restricted in Paris, but an exception was granted to this area due to Saturday being the JewishSabbath. As a result, cafés and shops are open in this area on Sundays and holidays, which draws large crowds of both Jews and non-Jews.
During the last ten years, the small Jewish shops have been largely crowded out and the Rue des Rosiers has become notable for fashion. The quaint boutiques of days-gone-by have given way to gleaming minimalist showrooms for some of Europe's trendiest labels.
Officially, this street is in theMarais district, which extends along theRue de Rivoli a short distance away, and some refer to the area as "Saint Paul" because of the proximity of thePlace Saint-Paul.
The Rue des Rosiers is:
Located near theMétro station: Saint-Paul. |
The street is the place of the memorable scene ofRabbi Jacob dance (actually shot in the Rue Jean-Jaurès inSaint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis) from the French cult filmThe Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob (1973).
