Rue de Valois

The Rue de Valois (French pronunciation: [ʁy də valwa]) is a street in the Palais-Royal quarter in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France.

To pay debts, Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, the owner of the Palais-Royal, decided to divide the lands around the Palais' garden into plots.

The street was opened in 1784 under the name Passage de Valois.

[1] During the July Revolution, clashes between insurgents and troops took place in the street.

Under the Second Republic, the street was renamed the Rue du Vingt-Quatre-Février ("February 24 Street") to commemorate the date of Louis Philippe I's abdication and of the provisional proclamation of the Republic.
