==Origin of the name==
In February 1789, for the beautiful eyes of the [[Marguerite Françoise de Buffon|Comtesse de Buffon]], the [[Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans|Duke of Orléans]] (Philippe Égalité) had the name of the street changed by a decree of the King's Council (February 19, 1789): "La rue d'Enfer will henceforth be called rue Bleue, a name which will be more easily remembered than any other, given that in the same district there is one which bears the name of rue Verte" (not really nearby, however, since it was therefore probably from the current rue de Penthièvre, in the [[8th arrondissement of Paris|8th arrondissement]]).
