Rue Du Faubourg Saint-Denis
The Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis () is a street in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. It crosses the arrondissement from north to south, linking the Porte Saint-Denis to La Chapelle Métro station and passing the Gare du Nord. History The Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis owes its name to the fact that it is an extension of the Rue Saint-Denis to the faubourg or area outside Paris's walls (as marked today by the Porte Saint-Denis). It also marked the eastern boundary of the enclos (later prison) Saint-Lazare. Historically, this street was an extremely upper-class area, occupied by jewellers and textile merchants, since it was part of the King's processional route to the Basilica of Saint-Denis. After the French Revolution, the street briefly bore the name 'Rue du Faubourg Franciade' in 1793 (with the portion between the Rue Saint-Laurent and the Place de la Chapelle being renamed the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Lazare and the Rue du Faubourg de Gloire).

Traiteur (culinary Profession)
A ''traiteur'' (; ) is a French food-seller, whose places of business were arguably the precursors of the modern restaurant.Jim Chevallier, ''A History of the Food of Paris: From Roast Mammoth to Steak Frites'', 2018, , pp. 75–80 Prior to the late 18th century, diners who wished to "dine out" could dine at a ''traiteur'''s, or order meals to go. The cooks and caterers guild – informally known as the ''traiteurs'' – progressively claimed the right to make any sophisticated meals, leaving inns and taverns to mainly make roast or grilled meat. As of the late seventeenth century, many offered a '' table d'hôte'', a meal offered at a set price with no choice of dishes. However both cabarets and ''traiteurs'' could also offer individual choice of dishes, despite claims to the contrary. In modern France, the word often refers to a caterer. ''Traiteur'' is an agent noun formed from the verb ''traiter'' ('treat'), which literally refers to the action of "treating" someone to someth ...

A profiterole (), ''chou à la crème'' (), also known alternatively as a cream puff (US), is a filled French choux pastry ball with a typically sweet and moist filling of whipped cream, custard, pastry cream, or ice cream. The puffs may be embellished or left plain or garnished with chocolate sauce, caramel, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Savory profiterole are also made, filled with pureed meats, cheese, and so on.

After cooling, the baked profiteroles are injected with filling using a pastry bag and narrow piping tip, or by slicing off the top, filling them, and reassembling.
