Rue des Petits-Champs is a street which runs through the 1st and 2nd arrondissement of Paris, France.
This one-way street, running east–west, is located between rue de la Banque and Avenue de l'Opera.
It was officially created in 1634 by orders of the king during the construction of Palais-Cardinal, it was named "rue Bautru" then "rue Neuve-des-Petits-Champs", In 1881 it was given its present name. In 1944, the part of rue des Petits Champs which extends across Opera near the Place Vendome was renamed rue Danielle Casanova after a French Resistance fighter who died in 1943.
The street received that name because of the small fields, or the large gardens. that used to be there (petits champs meaning small fields in French). [1] There is a record of a street, in the same location and under the same name in the vicus de Parvis Campis (1273). [2]
Rue des Petits-Champs is lined by several impressive mansions:
Metro: Line 3 (Quatre Septembre), 1 & 7 (Palais-Royal-Musée du Louvre), 7 & 14 (Pyramides)
