At No. 89 the old street name is engraved in a similar manner to the one pictured. The original name, Rue de la Mortellerie (named after the medieval masons who lived there ("mortelliers"), was changed in 1832 after a cholera epidemic killed 19,000 people in 90 days. Apparently the residents did not want a name that contained the word <I>mort</I>!<BR/><BR/>My source for this information is Frommer's Memorable Walks in ParisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1130486478456590542005-10-28T10:01:00.000+02:002005-10-28T10:01:00.000+02:00Sorry FX, the right link is : this oneSorry FX, the right link is : <A HREF="http://parisdailyphotomakingof.blogspot.com/2005/10/22-rue-de-bievres.html" REL="nofollow">this one</A>Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796507758758766120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1130484635621001132005-10-28T09:30:00.000+02:002005-10-28T09:30:00.000+02:00Eric, the above link does not work. can you fix it...Eric, the above link does not work. can you fix it?

First, les fontaines Wallace, now the "historiette" of Mitterand-rue de Bièvre connection.<BR/><BR/>Joris-Karl Huysmans, the late 19th century novelist and art critic on whom I wrote my doctoral dissertation, wrote a very nice essay on La Bièvre, whose disappearance he saw as a sign of the evil nature of the "modernization" of Paris.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397908781677596824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1130403223965301362005-10-27T10:53:00.000+02:002005-10-27T10:53:00.000+02:00Please note that the engraved name is written in "...Please note that the engraved name is written in <I>"Vieux François"</I>, "BIEURE", nowadays "BIÈVRE". Until I don't know exactly when, the letters "U" and "V" that follow each other in the alphabet were commonly merged in French.<BR/>One additional point: former French President François MITTERAND had his personal apartment located 22 rue de Bièvre. His widow Danièle presumably still lives there (but I am not too sure she does. Maybe she had to sell it, along with many other belongings, in order to discharge her son's [Jean-Christophe] countless debts).FIX79https://www.blogger.com/profile/03854952612879873015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1130391002005843472005-10-27T07:30:00.000+02:002005-10-27T07:30:00.000+02:00What a lovely photo and anecdote!What a lovely photo and anecdote!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11522540329773666920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1130383408247977682005-10-27T05:23:00.000+02:002005-10-27T05:23:00.000+02:00The street name "rue de Bievre" comes from the riv...The street name "rue de Bievre" comes from the river name "la Bievre". The Bievre river still flows across Paris, but don't look for it.. It is now covered up, just like a regular sewer. It has been used for centuries for various industries until it became too polluted. <BR/><BR/>JM-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
