Rue Crémieux

In the 12th arrondissement near the Gare de Lyon, this short cobbled pedestrian street is famous for its row of small houses painted in bright pastel colours, a rare sight in the largely stone-built capital. Laid out in the 19th century as modest workers' dwellings, the terrace has become one of the most photographed corners of Paris, its facades in shades of pink, blue, green and yellow. Some are adorned with painted trompe-l'oeil details. The street's popularity with photographers and social media has prompted debate among its residents.
