The Rue Raynouard is located in Passy , the 16th arrondissement of Paris .

location

The street is 880 meters long and stretches from Place de Costa Rica to Place du Docteur Hayem . It is a one-way street up to Avenue de Lamballle .

Name origin

The former Rue Basse owes its name to the French writer François Raynouard (1761–1836).

history

The Rue Raynouard is together with the Rue de Passy the oldest street of the former village Passy and connected the manor house ( French Demeure seigneuriale ), which is between the Rue des Vignes (Passy) and the Rue des Tombereaux ( Rue de l'Annonciation ) ( Auteuil ). Until the 17th century it was the most important connecting road and was first called "Grande Rue", then "Rue Haute", before it took on the name "Rue Basse" in the 18th century, which it kept until 1867 as today's Rue de Passy became the main street and was named "Grande Rue".

Passy's popularity in the 18th century attracted writers and artists. Large plots of land are being built along the road, Château de Boulainvilliers as the successor to Château de Passy, Hôtel de Valentinois (on the corner of today's Avenue du Colonel-Bonnet ). After the revolution, the old noble houses are poorly maintained, their parks are sold and divided.

Émile Zola describes the street, in which there are still many imposing buildings from the 18th century, as "very aristocratic, with magnificent palaces, brick stables, etc."

After Passy was incorporated by the law of June 16, 1859, the street was added to the Paris street network in 1863 and was given its current name in 1867.

Attractions
