Carrefour de Buci street view
This colorful crossroads (carrefour is French for “intersection”) was once a notorious Rive Gauche landmark: during the 18th century it contained a gallows, and during the French Revolution the army used the site to enroll its first volunteers. Many royalists and priests lost their heads here during the bloody course of the Terror. There’s certainly nothing sinister about the carrefour today; brightly colored flowers are for sale alongside take-out ice-cream and snack kiosks. Devotees of the superb, traditional bakery Carton (at No. 6) line up for pastries (try their tuiles cookies). Rue de Buci has several good épiceries and boulangeries stocked with the fixings for a perfect picnic.
