The Rue de Richelieu (French pronunciation: [ʁy də ʁiʃ(ə)ljø]) is a long street of Paris, starting in the south of the 1st arrondissement at the Comédie-Française and ending in the north of the 2nd arrondissement. For the first half of the 19th century, before Georges-Eugène Haussmann redefined Paris with grand boulevards, it was one of the most fashionable streets of Paris.
It is notable for the National Library of France and for scattered coin dealers and currency changers, being near the Paris Bourse, the stock market.
