Does anyone know of a street in Paris that has a whole bunch of crepe vendors on it? I've heard rumors of it but I don't know if it actually exists, and if it does, where in Paris is it located? Thanks!

I don't know of the special street so I'll be watching this thread for replies! However along the Seine river at nite, there are stands that open and serve crepes.

There are street vendor's everywhere...but if you are looking for a neighborhood with more than the usual number and a good number of creperies as well, you need to spend some time in the Gare Montparnasse area. The is the terminus for the train to Brittany (home of great crepes and great mussel dishes)...

You are looking for rue Montparnasse (not boulevard Montparnasse). Easiest to access from Metro Edgar Quinet (line 6) and walk down the hill. Creperies on both sides of the street.
A little history - the crepes originate from Brittany and this is an area in Paris where many people moved to from Brittany. Thus the reason for rue Rennes - Rennes is the largest city in Brittany,
Enjoy.
