History

The street was once known as the Rue des Poulies. In 1415, a noble called le Mazurier offered the Chief Prior of France a huge private mansion with 24 bedrooms to receive 48 poor people. These people were so poor that they didn't pay the taxes of the city, and were called francs-bourgeois. In 1868, the street was joined with Rue Neuve Saint-Catherine and Rue du Paradis au Marais.[citation needed]

Jack Kerouac facetiously translated the name as "street of the outspoken middle class."[2]
