Le Dit des rues de Paris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Le Dit des rues de Paris (French pronunciation: [lə di de ʁy də paʁi]) is a 554-verse poem in octosyllabic rhyming couplets, in an AABB rhyme scheme, written by Guillot of Paris and describing the streets of Paris between around 1280 and 1300. It deals with 310 streets, organised into the city's three main districts at that time:
- to the north on the Rive Droite, the Outre-Grand-Pont district, also known as "la Ville" ("the city")
- to the south on the Rive Gauche, the Outre-Petit-Pont district, also known as "l'Université" ("the University")
- on the island, the Cité district, cradle of Paris


It does not include cul de sacs, which its author calls rues sans chief.
