The Fallières coast is the part of the west coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula, lying on Marguerite Bay . The coast stretches from the entrance of the Bourgeois Fjord to Cape Jeremy at the beginning of George VI Sound . The Loubet coast connects to the north and the Rymill coast to the south .
Its northern part was discovered and mapped on January 15, 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition 1908-1910 , whose leader Jean-Baptiste Charcot named the area after the French President Armand Fallières . In the southern summer of 1936/37 the coastline was completely surveyed by the British Grahamland Expedition under the direction of John Rymill .
