Rue Spontini is a public way in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, part of the Porte-Dauphine district, an upscale residential neighborhood. It begins at 73, avenue Foch and ends at 2, Rue Benjamin-Godard, level with avenue Victor-Hugo and place Mike-Brant.
The district is served by RER line C at the avenue Foch station and the avenue Henri-Martin station, as well as by the terminus of line 2 at the Porte Dauphine station and the extension of line 3b of the Île-de-France tramway.
Name origin
editThe street is named after the Italian composer Gaspare Spontini (1774-1851).[1]
History
edit
This street, which once formed part of Rue du Petit-Parc[Note 1], was created in 1825 when the road running east along the former La Muette pheasantry separated the communes of Passy and Neuilly.
The street is also the western boundary of the plaine de Passy housing estate created in 1825 by the Société des terrains de la plaine de Passy. The western part of this subdivision, which extended eastwards to the boulevard outside the Fermiers généraux enclosure, was not built until after 1850. Single-family homes were replaced by apartment blocks from the late 19th century onwards.[2][3]
Classified as a Paris roadway by a decree of May 23, 1863, it took on its present name by a decree of October 2, 1865.[4]
The section between rue de la Tour and avenue Henri-Martin became part of rue Mignard in 1881.
In 1881, the current Square Lamartine also included the part of rue Spontini between avenues Henri-Martin and Victor-Hugo.
