The Rue Boissière is a 750 meter long and 16 meter wide street in the Quartier de Chaillot the 16th arrondissement of Paris .

location

The street runs relatively straight between Place d'Iéna and Place Victor-Hugo . In the north-western part it is a one-way street (Place Victor-Hugo to Avenue Kléber ) and is then continued in two lanes. The route runs gently upwards over two sides of the Chaillot Hill and reaches its highest point at the junction with Rue Lauriston .

There are 3 metro stations : Boissière ( ) and at the ends Iéna ( ) and Victor Hugo ( ) stations. The RATP 82 bus line also runs through the street.

Name origin

The street name - like that of Villa Boissière - is derived from the neighborhood of the former Croix Boissière , a cross that was decorated with box trees for special festivals ( Palm Sunday ) .

history

In the first section between Place d'Iéna and Avenue Kléber , the street already existed in the early 18th century under the name Rue de la Croix-Boissière , while the rest of the street has always had its current name. In 1868 both sections were combined.
