This path in the former municipality of Passy is listed on the Roussel map from 1730 under the name "Rue de Seine". On May 23, 1863, it was added to the Paris road network as part of Rue Berton.

The street formed the border between the park of the Hôtel de Lamballe , sold in 1922 , whose properties were divided into Avenue de Lamballe , Avenue du Général-Mangin and the Turkish Embassy, ​​and the former mineral water park of Passy, ​​whose property was acquired by Benjamin Delessert around 1800 Site later became the «Parc Delessert» (today Parc de Passy ).

The embassy building used to be the famous mental hospital of Dr. Émile Blanche. In it the writers Gérard de Nerval (from August 27, 1853 to October 19, 1854) and Guy de Maupassant (from January 1892 to his death on July 6, 1893) - ultimately unsuccessfully - treated.

As of September 28, 2000, the street from Avenue du Général-Mangin to Avenue Marcel-Proust is a one-way street.
