The Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche (French pronunciation: [ʁy dy ʃa ki pɛʃ], lit.

It is in the 5th arrondissement, on the Rive Gauche of the Seine, and runs from the Quai Saint-Michel to the Rue de la Huchette.

Its current name is attested by 1636 as the Rue du Chat qui pesche (using the then-current spelling of the French verb pêcher).

This name comes from the sign of a fishmongery, whose owner, a canon, Dom Perlet, owned a black cat known for its ability to catch fish from the Seine with a single swipe of its paw.

It is located near the Métro station Saint-Michel, and may be accessed by any of its cross streets, including the Rue de la Huchette.
