Историческая справка
In the first decades of St. Petersburg’s existence, the French Quarter sprang up in the 2nd and 3rd liniya V.O. It was inhabited by craftsmen and artists invited from France and Germany, who greatly contributed to the development of the young capital. Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Le Blond, an architect and landscape gardener invited by Peter I in 1716, also lived in the French Quarter. From that year until his death in 1719, he was the chief architect of St. Petersburg and drew up a Master Plan which envisioned the city centre to be located on Vasilyevsky Island. In 1716, he prepared a standard design of a residential building for noble citizens. The implementation of this project has survived to this day: in 1720-1726, architects Domenico Andrea Trezzini and Leonard Theodor Schwertfeger built a house according to Le Blond’s drawings at the start of the 7th liniya (its modern number is 12). French cutters, foundrymen, locksmiths, carpenters, and blacksmiths with their families and apprentices came to St. Petersburg, some of them along with Le Blond.
In the 1720’s, a road was laid from the Menshikov Market located in the current Rumyantsev Garden/Rumyantsevsky sad to the French Quarter. Only in 1871 it received its official name Solovyovsky pereulok (after homeowner, gold industry entrepreneur, and philanthropist Stepan Solovyov). The French Quarter existed for several decades, leaving no traces in the city toponymy. The Main Building of the Academy of Arts is kind of a historical reminiscence of the Quarter’s creative spirit. Its construction began in 1764 according to the design of French architect Jean-Baptiste Michel Vallin de la Mothe. Nowadays, this is the St. Petersburg Repin Academy of Fine Arts. The former Solovyov pereulok was also named after the painter — now it is ulitsa Repina.
