Julienne is a very small impact crater on the front of the moon on the eastern edge of the Palus Putredinis , west of the Rima Hadley , opposite the landing site of Apollo 15 , west of the Mons Hadley Delta .

The name goes back to an originally unofficial name on sheet 41B4 / S1 of the Topophotomap map series from NASA , which was taken over by the IAU in 1976.
