Rue Huvelin

Rue Huvelin (Arabic: شارع هوفلين), is a street located east of Beirut Central District in the neighborhood of Achrafieh.

The street is named after Paul Huvelin, a French legal historian who founded the law school of the Université Saint-Joseph in Beirut in 1913.

The street is considered an extension of Rue Monnot's vibrant bar and restaurant scene although on a lower scale with mainly affordable student hangouts such as, Bistrot Germanos.

Directed by Mounir Maasri, Rue Huvelin was the filming location of a band of students fighting against the Syrian occupation in Lebanon.

The movie was slightly censored for its release in Lebanon in November 2011, after it has toured at international Film Festivals: Moscow, Montreal and Sao Paulo.
