The Rue Brancion is a street in the Saint-Lambert quarter in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, France.[1]

Route

[edit]

The Rue Brancion starts at 6, Place d'Alleray and ends at 167, Boulevard Lefebvre.[1]

It forms the eastern boundary of the Parc Georges-Brassens and crosses over the disused tracks of the Petite Ceinture railway line.

History

[edit]

In 1864, the street was named after Colonel Adolphe-Ernest Raguet de Brancion [fr], who was killed in the Malakoff bastion attack in 1855.[1]

The southern part of the street, between the Rue des Morillons and the Boulevard Lefebvre, was previously known as the Rue du Pont de Turbigo.[1]

The street was extended from the Rue des Morillons to the Rue de Vouillé in 1901, then from the Rue de Vouillé to the Rue d'Alleray in 1906.[2]
