Name origin
The street owes its name to the 19th century French industrialist Jacques-Juste Barbet de Jouy (1787–1864), who had it built on his territory in 1836 and gave it to the city of Paris .
history
The street is on the site of part of the former Hôtel Grimod d'Orsay , now known as the Hôtel de Clermont . The current buildings, the entrance of which is at 69, Rue de Varenne (No. 6 to 8, Rue de Barbet-de-Jouy), date from the time when Barbet de Jouy had them built in 1836; the work was continued in the second half of the 19th century by the Comtesse Duchâtel, owner in 1838, and her son, Charles Marie Tanneguy Duchâtel .
The path was laid out by an ordinance of May 18, 1838. It also stipulated that the buildings could not be higher than 16.50 m. But in the years 1937–1938 high-rise buildings (nos. 22 and 24) with six and seven floors were built.
Despite everything, most of the houses from the years 1830–1840 remained private houses until the late 1950s . From the 1960s onwards, demolition and renovation work changed the appearance of the street, especially on the side with odd house numbers. Several residents then formed a protective association. Today, most of the houses on the even-numbered side and a small part of the other side have been preserved.
