Rue du Moulin-Vert recalls the existence of one of the numerous windmills on the land around the city in former days. Rue de la Gaité (eighteenth century) has ever been true to its name or the name true to the locality--one of dancing saloons and other popular amusements. The Cinema des Mille Colonnes was in pre-cinema days the “Bal des Mille Colonnes,” opened in 1833. Passing on up Avenue du Maine we come to arrondissement XV.
