Caturday: The Street of the Fishing Cat

Built in 1540, it was originally an alleyway allowing residents to go as far as the banks of the Seine at the time when no quays were yet built. With a width of 1.8 m and a total length of 29 m, La Rue du Chat qui Pêche is still the narrowest street in Paris. More than an oddly-named street, it is also the scene of a grim, century-old legend.
