Located in the 4th arrondissement, this street is one of the oldest in the Marais district, since it is open from the thirteenth century. It was opened under the name of Lagny, or Great-Bretonnerie, because it was on a site known as the Champ-the-Bretons and the stronghold of Saint-Pierre de Lagny. The canons of Swietokrzyskie there are installed in 1258 to protect the fortifications of the city. They quickly become one of the richest communities in the Marais. In 1314 it took its present name. Soon accused of the worst bribery, priory of Sainte Croix de la Bretonnerie is closed at the end of the reign of Louis XVI and demolished during the French Revolution, making up the square of the same name. This street, however, kept beautiful homes and charming small hotels built in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
