The ''rue des Batailles'' had been a street in the village of Chaillot, engulfed by the expanding Paris in 1786. For some years afterwards, two town boundaries of Chaillot could be seen at the wall of ''sieur Lélu'' and the house of ''sieur Jamard''. The street housed several hospitals and a private lunatic asylum was set up in the house once occupied by the Chevalier Pierre Bayard du Terrail. The chemist Charles Derosne (1779–1846), worked in 7 rue des Batailles at the extraction of sugar from sugarbeet. On December 20, 1961 the name Place de l'Uruguay was given to the intersection of the streets ''Rue Galilée'' and ''Jean Giraudoux'' with the avenue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Avenue d'Iéna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
