Rue du Cloître-Saint-Benoît

The Rue du Cloître-Saint-Benoît (French pronunciation: [ʁy dy klwatʁ sɛ̃ bənwa]) was a now-disappeared street in the Sorbonne district of Paris, demolished to build the present Rue des Écoles.

It was named after the cloister of the église Saint-Benoît-le-Bétourné,[1] and just before the French Revolution, it fell within that church's parish.

[1] In a judicial act of 1243 it was known as the Rue André Machel after its owner.

[1] Around 1280-1300, it was mentioned in Le Dit des rues de Paris by Guillot de Paris as en Cloistre Saint-Beneoit le bestourné.

1, 3, 5 and 7 on the Place Paul-Painlevé were built on the site of the north part of the street and the main auditorium of the Sorbonne occupies part of its south side.
