The “rue de la Huchette” is one of the most animated street of Paris. Very popular and touristic, it is part of the famous “Quartier Latin” known for its prestigious schools and universities. Located between the Boulevard Saint-Michel and the banks of the Seine, this welcoming street is located at two steps from Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Church of Saint Séverin and the Cluny Museum where you can see the famous tapestry called “The Lady and the Unicorn”.

During the middle ages and the Renaissance, the street of the Huchette was already famous for its inns and its taverns. In the 20th century, many Greek restaurants settled there but most of them – except the Greek Tavern – turned lately into pubs and French restaurants.

n° 5 of Rue de la Huchette is an ancient Templar cellar which was converted into a Masonic lodge in the 18th century. For more than 60 years now, this place called “Le Caveau de la Huchette” has become the house of one of the most famous Parisian temples devoted to Jazz and Boogie-woogie. Sidney Becket, Memphis Slim or Count Basie have been performing there many times. http://www.caveaudelahuchette.fr
