I was in a slight panic last week when I realized I hadn’t chosen a Door of the Month yet. Scrambling to find a worthy door, I remembered the rue Richelieu has dozens of great untapped doors.
So great were the doors, I’m posting two. They are similar in color, that wonderful forest green, and design.
A plaque at number 39 commemorates Denis Diderot, an 18th century writer and philosopher who lived there till he died in 1784. Next-door is a fun American style restaurant H.A.N.D. (Have a Nice Day) that serves burgers, fried chicken, and ribs.
21 & 39 rue Richelieu, 75001
Metro: Palais Royal-Musee de Louvre
