The Dictionnaire administratif et historique des rues de Paris et de ses monuments is a dictionary of the public streets, monuments and buildings of Paris. It was written in 1844 by Louis and Félix Lazare, employees of the prefecture of the Seine at the time of prefect Rambuteau, to whom they dedicated the work. It is a valuable source on Paris before Haussmann's redesign of the city. It aimed to provide a reference work on official acts promulgated by different regimes, which defined the legal status and characteristics of public streets in the city - official streets, streets without government authorisation, their width, course and other data. A third edition appeared in 1879, but was never finished.
