<p>The Rue de la Paix (French: [ʁy də la pɛ]; lit. 'Peace Street') is a fashionable shopping street in the centre of Paris. Located in the 2nd arrondissement, it runs north from the Place Vendôme and ends at the Opéra Garnier.<br />
<br />
The street is best known for its jewellers, such as the shop opened by Cartier in 1898. Charles Frederick Worth was the first to open a couture house in the Rue de la Paix. Many buildings on the street are inspired in design by the hôtels particuliers of the Place Vendôme.<br />
<br />
History<br />
<br />
The street was opened in 1806 from the Place Vendôme on the orders of Napoleon, part of the Napoleonic program to open the heart of the Right Bank of Paris, both towards the undeveloped western suburbs and to the north. Creating the new street required the demolition of the ancient Convent of the Capucins. At first named the Rue Napoléon, its name was changed in 1814, after the Bourbon Restoration, to celebrate the newly arranged peace.<br />
<br />
During the Paris Commune, the street saw a demonstration protesting against the commune government. On 22 March 1871, National Guard soldiers, who were commanded by Jules Bergeret, after being fired upon, fired into a crowd of mostly unarmed marchers that were heading to the Place Vendôme. The resulting bloodshed saw twelve protestors killed and a soldier. The event has been termed the Massacre in the Rue de la Paix. It was the first act of violence against the Parisian citizens since the Siege of Paris ended two months before.<br />

<br />
In 1847, all even numbers in the Rue de la Paix south of the junction with the Rue Daunou changed up by two following the redevelopment of no. 4 into two units, becoming nos. 4 and 6. Due to the anomaly of being two no. 14 on the corners either side of the Rue Daunou, the numbers north of this road were increased by four. Therefore, Maison Maguet did not physically move location, it was just their street number within the address that changed. The famous jeweller and clockmaker Athanase Bourdin had his shop at no. 24, as a part of the Hotel Canterbury, with the number of both changing to 28 in 1847 although neither moved location. No. 28 was demolished in 1868 to make way for the new boulevard fronting the Opera House. Prior to 1847, Louis Aucoc had their address as Rue de la Paix 4, only becoming no. 6 after this date.<br />
<br />
In popular culture<br />
<br />
The Rue de la Paix is the most expensive property in the French version of Monopoly – the equivalent to "Boardwalk" in the American version, or "Mayfair" in the UK version.<br />
<br />
Due to this, the Rue de la Paix is referenced by French singer Zazie in her song of the same name, in which she compares societies based on consumerism to a game of Monopoly.<br />
<br />
The Rue de la Paix is mentioned by Rhett Butler in the novel Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell as the source of the green bonnet purchased to bring Scarlett O'Hara out of mourning.<br />
<br />
One of the villains in Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? is named "Rudy Lepay".<br />
Also mentioned in the Noël Coward song: "Parisian Pierrot" (recorded 1936); "...The Rue de la Paix is under your sway..."<br />
<br />
Also mentioned in the Leonard Gershe Rodger Edens song "Bonjour Paris" featured in the 1957 film Funny Face.<br />

Entstehungsgeschichte<br />
<br />
Sie wurde gemäß einem Dekret vom 19. Februar 1806 als Rue Napoléon nach dem Abriss des hier in Hausnummer 1 befindlichen Kapuzinerinnenklosters (Couvent des Capucines) erbaut. Napoleon Bonaparte plante mit der zunächst Rue Napoléon heißenden Straße die schönste Straße von Paris. Das bereits für die Gestaltung des naheliegenden Place Vendôme dort abgerissene Kapuzinerinnenkloster wurde hierhin am 26. Juli 1686 verlegt, musste jedoch für den Bau der Straße erneut abgerissen werden. Die Nonnen hatten das Kloster bereits am 14. Juni 1790 verlassen, die Kapuzinerkirche wurde am 29. März 1804 aufgegeben. Danach ging der Bau der Straße zügig voran. Am 16. Februar 1814 wollte eine Menschenmenge verhindern, dass die Siegessäule auf dem Place Vendôme abgerissen würde, und lief schreiend durch die Rue Napoléon mit dem Ausruf „Vive la Colonne!“ (Es lebe die Säule). Die Rue de la Paix erhielt ihren heutigen Namen im Hinblick auf den in Paris am 30. Mai 1814 geschlossenen ersten Pariser Frieden (paix).<br />
<br />
Luxusläden<br />
<br />
Auf dieser Straße ließen sich, noch bevor dies auf dem Place Vendôme begann, Juweliere und Modeschöpfer nieder. Ältester ist der Juwelier Jean-François Mellerio (gegründet 1815) im Haus Nr. 9. Es folgten das Modehaus Jacques Doucet (1824; 2), der Hofjuwelier Jean-Benoit Martial Bernard (1826, 1), der Parfümeur Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain (1842, 15), Juwelier Eugène Jacta (1848, 17) oder Modeschöpfer Charles Frederick Worth (1857; 7). Alfred Cartier hat erst im November 1899 sein Hauptquartier in Haus 13 bezogen. Grund war das Ziel Cartiers, die Ansprüche der außerordentlich wohlhabenden Kundschaft zu befriedigen. Erst als Baron Haussmann ab 1853 neue, arterielle Boulevards konzipierte, erlangte die Rue de la Paix strategische Bedeutung. Auch mindestens vier Hotels siedelten sich hier an, die jedoch durch die Eröffnung des Hôtel Ritz im Juni 1898 auf dem nahegelegenen Place Vendôme an Bedeutung verloren. Für ein deutsches Konversationslexikon aus dem Jahre 1840 gehörte die Rue de la Paix neben der Rue de Rivoli und der Rue de Castiglione zu den schönsten Straßen von Paris. Guerlain benannte 1909 eine Parfümmarke nach der Straße. Am 2. Juni 1919 eröffnete Louis Cartier erstmals eine Schmuckausstellung in seinem Laden.<br />
<br />
Lage und Bedeutung<br />
<br />
Die 230 m lange und 22,5 m breite Rue de la Paix stellt die Verbindung zwischen den Plätzen Place de l’Opera und Place Vendôme her. Jenseits des Place Vendôme liegt als südliche Verlängerung der Rue de la Paix die am 9. Oktober 1801 eröffnete und 155 m lange Rue de Castiglione, die zur Rue Saint-Honoré und danach zur Rue de Rivoli führt, die ebenfalls als luxuriöse Einkaufsmeilen bekannt sind. Ihre nördliche Verlängerung bildet der Boulevard des Capucines, einer der Grands Boulevards. Das am 5. Mai 1862 eröffnete Café de la Paix liegt nicht an der Rue de la Paix, sondern hat als Adresse den Place de l’Opera. Im französischen Monopoly-Spiel ist sie die teuerste Straße von Paris.<br />
