history

The road was completed in 1868 and it bears the name of the French entrepreneur Jean-François Cail (1804–1871), who was characterized by particular patriotism . The French entrepreneur and industrialist in sugar factories and railway equipment had built apartments in this street for his workers at Gare du Nord.

The uniform development, with six-story houses and alternating facade decorations, has been preserved from the time the street was built. Most of the shops on the street are Indian or Sri Lankan restaurants, grocery stores, or shops as the street is in the middle of an area sometimes called "Little Jaffna" which is home to a strong Sri Lankan-Tamil community.

Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) painted two paintings in his early works, Les Usines Cail et le quai de Grenelle (1875) and Le Pont roulant au bord de la Seine , with the Cail factories and the Quai de Grenelle in the background, in a series of paintings that were created around his home at 54 Rue de Chaillot, Paris. The Cail factories mentioned were those of Société JF Cail & Cie , founded by Jean-François Cail , the man who gave his name to the street where Gauguin lived a few years later.
