What people say

Matthew Daws
"Coming down this once iconic street early in the morning is the smart choice to make, as it is unfortunately one of the worst "tourist trap" locations in Paris today. Filled with low quality restaurants, souvenir shops and normally packed, there are however three things worth seeing. Firstly is the Théâtre de la Huchette, a tiny theatre with only 85 seats that perform the exact same plays every evening, both by Eugène Ionesco: La Cantatrice Chauve at 7pm and La Leçon at 8pm. Both have been performed over 20,000 times. Further up the street you also have Le Caveau de la Huchette, one of the great jazz clubs of the mid 20th century that saw many American artists inside its brick walls. While not open in the morning, it's worth seeing up close and may inspire you to go back later in the evening for a fun night of music. Lastly, don't forget to miss the narrowest street in Paris just next to this main street, called Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche, that used to house a fishmonger whose cat was quite good at extracting fish from the nearby Seine river.

"Rue de la Huchette offers a taste of the lively and eclectic atmosphere of the Latin Quarter and is an ideal location to immerse yourself in Parisian culture, enjoy delicious food, and experience the city's nightlife."
