Rue Saint-Florentin, Paris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rue Saint-Florentin is a thoroughfare in the 1st and 8th arrondissement of Paris. The street took its name from the Duc de la Vrillière, Louis Phélypeaux, comte de Saint-Florentin, minister and secretary of state, who had his private mansion built there. For several years it housed the US Embassy in France, George C. Marshall and William Averell Harriman.
