Rue Charlemagne, Paris

Paris streets are most often named after people, and for each street at least some signs give a bit of information. Here it's very short and sweet: Charlemagne's dates, and then:

"KING OF THE FRANKS, EMPEROR OF THE WEST"

Here's a collection of other street plaques, with translations.
