Comédie-Française, main hall (

Fauré Le Page store located 8, Rue de Richelieu at the corner of the Rue de Richelieu and the Rue de Montpensier. The famous firearms played an active role to the French Revolution by distributing arms to the people in 1789 and in 1830. • The former Royal Palace Hotel, which opened in 1909 was located in the same building as the
Fauré Le Page store. • The birth of the croissant itself—that is, its adaptation from the plainer form of kipferl, before the invention of
viennoiseries—can be dated to at least 1839 (some say 1838) when an Austrian artillery officer,
August Zang, founded a Viennese bakery ("Boulangerie Viennoise") at 92, Rue de Richelieu. This bakery, which served Viennese specialties including the kipferl and the
Vienna loaf, quickly became popular and inspired French imitators (and the concept, if not the term, of
viennoiserie, a 20th-century term for supposedly Vienna-style pastries). The French version of the kipferl was named for its crescent (
croissant) shape and has become an identifiable shape across the world. Place Mireille - Paris I (FR75) - 2021-06-14 - 1.jpg|Rue de Richelieu at the Place Mireille Bibliothèque nationale de France, Salle Labrouste, 14 September 2019 03.jpg|Salle Labrouste, ,
