The Avenue Henri-Martin is a 663 meter long and 40 meter wide street in the 16th arrondissement of Paris .
location
The street begins on Rue de la Pompe and ends at Place de Colombie or Boulevards des Maréchaux on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne urban forest . The street crosses two quarters : Muette to the south and Porte Dauphine to the north .
A sand track in the middle of the street allowed the riders of the École Militaire to ride in the Bois de Boulogne until the end of 1970.
The street has a metro station ( Rue de la Pompe ) at its eastern end , which is on the same route as the line . At its western end is the train station connected to the RER network, the Gare de l'avenue Henri Martin , which is served by lines 1 and 3.
Name origin
The avenue Henri-Martin owes its name to the eponymous French historian and politician Henri Martin (1810-1883), who composed a 17-volume work entitled Histoire de France and was elected mayor of the 16th arrondissement in 1870.
history
The avenue Henri-Martin is practically the continuation of the avenue Georges-Mandel west of the rue de la Pompe ; a section that previously also belonged to Avenue Henri-Martin and was renamed in 1945 in honor of the French politician Louis Georges Rothschild alias Georges Mandel (1885-1944) who was murdered in World War II . From the house numbers it can still be seen that it was once the same street; because the avenue Georges-Mandel ends at the numbers 56 and 69, while the local street begins with the numbers 58 and 71.
