Impasse de la Poissonnerie

The Impasse de la Poissonnerie is a small dead-end street in the Saint-Gervais neighborhood of Paris, in the 4th arrondissement. It begins at No. 2 Rue de Jarente and ends without connecting to any other street. It owes its name to its historic proximity to the fish hall of the Sainte-Catherine market, which, for hygienic reasons, stood apart from the main market between this alley and the Rue de Jarente. Remains of this old fish hall can still be seen at that address today. The street was laid out in the late 18th century. For visitors, the spot offers a glimpse into the neighborhood's historic market culture. The Fontaine de Jarente is right nearby, and the Saint-Paul Métro station on Line 1 is easy to reach.
