History and visit the Rue de l’Ave Maria in Paris

Long  street  the 4th arrondissement of Paris, Rue de l’Ave Maria joined the rue du Fauconnier the rue Saint-Paul. Originally, the street of Ave Maria bore the name “rue des Barres” which refers to the Carmelite religious who settled in their neighborhoods. These religious clothed in a mantle surrounded by white stripes and black stripes hence the name of the people ‘barred’.

The mid-13th century, King Louis IX gave the convent the nuns Beguines. Under Louis XI, the Beguines were replaced by Girls-de-Sainte-Claire. Therefore, the street drew much of its popularity austerity of the nuns who replaced the Carmelite in the convent. Extremely dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, Louis XI ordered the monastery to take the name of the Ave Maria.
