Catalogue Note
La rue saint-Nicaise était située entre la galerie du Louvre et la rue Saint-Honoré. Elle bordait la place du Carrousel (on aperçoit l'arc de Triomphe du Carrousel à l'arrière-plan). Elle portait le nom de la chapelle Saint-Nicaise qui s'y trouvait à l'époque et était bordée de plusieurs hôtels particuliers. La rue est restée célèbre pour l'attentat de la rue Saint-Nicaise, dirigé contre Napoléon Bonaparte en 1800. Celui-ci en réchappa mais il y eut 22 morts et de nombreux blessés. La rue fut détruite en 1853 lors du prolongement de la rue de Rivoli avec ses arcades.
