Rue du Cloître-Saint-Benoît
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rue du Cloître-Saint-Benoît (French pronunciation: [ʁy dy klwatʁ sɛ̃ bənwa]) was a now-disappeared street in the Sorbonne district of Paris, demolished to build the present Rue des Écoles. It was named after the cloister of the église Saint-Benoît-le-Bétourné,[1] and just before the French Revolution, it fell within that church's parish.[2] It was made part of the Chalier sector during the Revolution; that sector was renamed the Sorbonne district when the original 11th arrondissement of Paris was formed in 1795.[1]
It began at the Rue des Mathurins-Saint-Jacques (now the Rue Du Sommerard) and ended at the Passage Saint-Benoît-Saint-Jacques.[3][1] Its house numbers were black[4] and the last numbers were 23 and 26.[1]
