location
The street starts at number 2 on Chaussée de la Muette and ends at number 5 on Rue Gustave Nadaud .
Name origin
The street, which was officially opened in 1904, was named in honor of the playwright François Ponsard (1814-1867), who last lived at number 9 on the neighboring Rue de la Pompe and died there on July 7, 1867.
history
Your plant took place on the back of the lot numbers 1-11 of the rue de la Pompe to the east. In addition to Ponsard, the writers George du Maurier (1834–1896; as a child between 1842 and 1847 in a corner house on Rue de Passy ) and Jules Janin (1804–1874; from 1856 until his death in a country house at number 11 to the neighboring avenue de la Petite-Muette ).
The area west of the Rue François Ponsard was not built with residential buildings until the second half of the 19th century as a result of the railway line from Passy to Auteuil that began in 1854 , which divided the park area previously belonging to La Muette Castle . On the site, the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Ouest built the connection between the petite ceinture line (branch of the Auteuil line south of the station on Avenue Henri Martin ) and the Champ de Mars station for the 1900 Universal Exhibition in covered trenches . The site was abandoned in 1924. Only since 1988, after 64 years, has the line been used again for a branch of the Ligne d'Ermont - Eaubonne à Champ-de-Mars ( ).
Literary mention
In his autobiographical novel Peter Ibbetson , George du Maurier describes this process from the perspective of an adult who is returning to the place of his childhood after more than a decade: Peter Ibbetson visits the property on which he grew up and looks for the old park hedge in which they made a passage back then to get to the Bois de Boulogne . This should have been located roughly where today's Rue François Ponsard is. Soberly, he realizes that the hedge had disappeared as well as the whole park behind it, which had been dismembered and divided into small plots, on which there were now a multitude of small gardens with white villas. There was also a railway line on the site.
