Cité de la Roquette

60 rue de la Roquette

About

Located in the area of Faubourg Saint-Antoine, center of cabinetmakers and other furniture craftsmen at the last century, the Cité de la Roquette is one of those courtyards that flourished at the height of furniture industry. It is accessed by number 60 of Roquette Street, and you will discover in this typical blind-alley a building, at number 5, registered in Historical Monuments Inventory. There is still a woodwork shop at the end of the blind-alley. Paved streets and the smell of wood plunge visitors back into the atmosphere of that craftsmanship which left its mark on this area located very near the Place de la Bastille.
