Hidden Streets — Small Streets Worth Discovering in Paris

Some of Paris’s most interesting streets are also among its smallest. Hidden Streets brings together short passages, tucked-away lanes, unusual residential streets and historic corners that can easily be missed while exploring the larger neighbourhoods around them.

Discover the colourful houses of Rue Crémieux near Gare de Lyon, the tiny Rue Saint-Rustique climbing through historic Montmartre, and other streets selected for their architecture, history, setting or distinctive character.

These are not necessarily secret places — some are well known — but each offers a reason to turn away from the main boulevard and look more closely. Explore them with TLC Paris as part of a wider walk through the neighbourhoods, streets and places nearby.
