Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine
Stretching from Place de la Bastille towards Place de la Nation, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine is one of Paris’s historic craft streets, long associated with cabinetmakers, furniture workshops and skilled artisans. Running along the boundary between the 11th and 12th arrondissements, the street still reflects this heritage through workshops and design addresses, now mixed with independent shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday neighbourhood life.
Explore the surrounding streets towards Rue de Charonne, Ledru-Rollin and Marché d’Aligre for bakeries, bistros, wine bars, food shops and local markets. Around Faidherbe-Chaligny, furniture and design remain part of the neighbourhood’s identity, while smaller courtyards and passages reveal traces of the workshops that once filled the Faubourg.
Closer to Bastille, the street is lively with shopping, restaurants and evening addresses; continue towards Nation and the atmosphere gradually becomes more residential and local.
