history
The street was opened in 1867 and was initially called Rue Mozart , so it has always been dedicated to the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. At that time, however, the street was a little shorter than today's avenue because the small section between Chaussée de la Muette and Rue Bois Le Vent was not built until 1896. In 1911 the street finally changed from rue to avenue .
