Rue Alibert

The Rue Alibert is a street in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, France.

It starts at 66 Quai de Jemmapes and ends at 1 Avenue Claude-Vellefaux and 161 Avenue Parmentier after having served the Rue Bichat and the Rue Marie-Louise.

A ministerial decision of 28 Vendemiaire year XI (20 October 1802 in the French Republican Calendar) set the minimum width of the street to 10 meters and ordered the street to be extended to the Rue Saint-Maur.

The opening of the laterally-crossing Rue Bichat in 1824 meant that it was no longer a dead-end, and royal order of December 6, 1827 programmed its widening to 15 meters and extension, however, this was ultimately never achieved.

[1] On 13 November 2015, it was the site of one of multiple terrorist attacks in Paris, where gunmen opened fire on the Le Carillon bar at no.
