Rue d'Auteuil at night

This narrow, crooked shopping street escaped Haussmann’s urban renovations and today still retains the country feel of old Auteuil. Molière once lived on the site of No. 2; Racine was on nearby Rue du Buis; the pair met up to clink glasses and exchange drama notes at the Mouton Blanc Inn, now a brasserie, at No. 40. Numbers 19-25 and 29 are an interesting combination of 17th- and 18th-century buildings, which have evolved into a mixture of private housing and shop fronts. At the foot of the street, the scaly dome of the Eglise d’Auteuil (built in the 1880s) is an unmistakable small-time cousin of the Sacre Coeur. Rue d’Auteuil is at its liveliest on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, when a much-loved street market crams onto Place Jean-Barraud. (Text Source: fodors)
