Avenue de Malakoff

The Avenue de Malakoff is a 410 meters long and 23.5 meters wide road in the far north of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, where it forms the boundary between the westerly Quartier de la Porte Dauphine and the eastern Quartier de Chaillot. The road begins in the south at number 50 Avenue Foch and ends in the north on the Boulevard de l' Amiral Bruix and point 89 of the Avenue de la Grande Armée immediately prior to the Place de la Porte Maillot, whose north side is located in the 17th arrondissement.

History

The street was named after the General Aimable Pelissier (1794-1864), who later became Duke of Malakoff. The latter received his title to the Fort Malakoff (French: Malakoff ) before Sebastopol, which was captured during the Crimean War in 1855 under his command.

Originally started the Avenue Malakoff already on the lot to the south, Place du Trocadéro et du 11 Novembre, but in 1936 the section was south of the Avenue Foch renamed Avenue Raymond Poincaré.

Before it received its present name in 1864, formed the road a section of the Avenue Saint- Denis.

The number 129 was the residence of Florence Gould ( 1895-1983 ).
