History[edit]
It was constructed in 1985[2] and named in honor of Nicolas Appert (1749-1841), a French businessman who invented airtight food preservation.[1]

On 7 January 2015 the offices of the satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo at 10 rue Nicolas-Appert were attacked by Islamist terrorists. A commemorative plaque on the building records the names of eleven of the twelve people who were killed there. Charlie Hebdo has since moved.
