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.

Fishing Apparatus

In this position, as shown in the drawing, the fish B, when approaching the bait s, will see the reflection B, of himself in the mirror, also coming for the reflection of the baits, and will be made bolder by the supposed companionship, and more eager to take the bait before his competitor seizes it. He will lose his caution, and take the bait with a recklessness that greatly increases the chances of his being caught on the hook.
