Rue Crémieux

This guide to Rue Cremieux in Paris follows the fight between the pastel-painted lane's Instagram fame and the residents who live behind its photogenic doors. You'll meet a resident named Antoine, hear how neighbors turned to their own social media account to fight back, and follow their campaign to get the city to gate the street. It also traces the street's own history, renamed in 1897 for a lawyer who spent his career defending the rights of the marginalized.
