Impasse d'Amsterdam

The Impasse d'Amsterdam is a short dead-end street in Paris's Europe quarter, in the 8th arrondissement. It begins at the Rue d'Amsterdam and ends at the Cours Paul-Ricard, home to the headquarters of the spirits company Pernod Ricard. Originally part of the Rue de Stockholm, the street was cut off in 1859 by the construction of Saint-Lazare station. To avoid confusion, the eastern section was given its current name in 1877. The lane runs perpendicular to the train station and is easy to reach by Métro lines 3, 12, 13, and 14 at the Saint-Lazare stop. Here you can enjoy a quiet contrast to the bustling station district and take a look at the company's distinctive headquarters building.
