The Rue de l'Odéon is a street in the Odéon quarter of the 6th arrondissement of Paris on the Left Bank.
Because of the presence of two bohemian bookstores, run respectively by Adrienne Monnier and Sylvia Beach, and the coterie of emergent Anglophone writers surrounding them, James Joyce nicknamed it "Stratford-on-Odéon". Monnier and Beach thought of it as Odéonia.
