Place Colette
Location and access
The square is bordered to the north and east by wings of the Palais-Royal (containing, to the north, the Comédie-Française and to the east, the Conseil d'État), to the south by the Rue Saint-Honoré and to the west by the Rue de Richelieu.
An entrance to the Palais Royal–Musée du Louvre Métro station, serving lines

History
The Place Colette had no name (it was simply part of the Rue Saint-Honoré) until 1966 when it was named after the writer Colette following a request by her only daughter, Colette de Jouvenel, to André Malraux who was then Minister of Culture.
