Rue Montorgueil is a street in the 1st and 2nd arrondissement. As a true 'foodie' street, it is lined with restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and a variety of shops, selling fish, cheese, wine, produce and flowers. It is a street for Parisians both to socialise and do their daily shopping. The street was also famously the subject of Monet's painting below,
Rue Montorgueil, Paris, Festival of June 30, 1878. Monet painted this street scene for a government festival, which was intended as a patriotic symbol of France's recovery from its defeat in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870.
