It is accompanied by a dark legend around a canon who transformed himself into a black cat to go fishing in the Seine.Funny anecdote, rue du Chat-qui-pêche, which is photographed by thousands of tourists every year, is actually not the narrowest street in Paris.

Area of ​​expression for urban artists, it offers an amazing stopover and is one of the unusual places in Paris.The Clock Tower: the oldest public clock in the capitalUntil the end of the 12th century, churches were a reference for Parisians, and the clocks of these religious buildings were a safe bet for knowing the time precisely.
