The Rue Montorgueil (French pronunciation: [ʁymɔ̃tɔʁɡœj] ) is a street in the 1st arrondissement and 2nd arrondissement (in the Montorgueil-Saint Denis-Les Halles district) of Paris, France. Lined with restaurants, cafés, bakeries, fish stores, cheese shops, wine shops, produce stands and flower shops, the Rue Montorgueil is a place for Parisians to socialize while doing their daily shopping. At the southernmost tip of the Rue Montorgueil is Saint-Eustache Church, and Les Halles, containing the largest indoor (mostly underground) shopping mall in central Paris; and to the north is the area known as the Grands Boulevards . While cars are not banned from the street, the priority is for pedestrians who can enjoy the cafés and shops while walking down the cobblestones.
