Rue Saint-Dominique
The Rue Saint-Dominique is a street in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. It was formerly known as Chemin de la Longue Raye, Chemin des Treilles, Chemin Herbu , Chemin de l'Oseraie, Chemin du Port, Chemin des Vaches, Chemin de la Justice and Chemin des Charbonniers. It was renamed Rue Saint-Dominique in 1643 after the Dominican monastery set up a few years earlier near the eastern end of the street, whose only remnant is the Église Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin on the Place Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin.
In 1670, Jeanne Baptiste d'Albert de Luynes was born at number 33, the Hôtel de Luynes. It is now destroyed.
The Rue Saint-Dominique is crossed by the Esplanade des Invalides.The Irish musician Rob Smith released a song in March 2011 called "Rue Sainte-Dominique". The music video was shot on the street and surrounding area.
