What’s in a name? Here on Rue Gaston Philippe, the answer unfolds through time. Rue Gaston Philippe wasn’t always this street’s name. It started as “Rue de l’Ermitage”, a nod to a place near Rue Maurice-Thorez. The name morphed into “Rue Jannot,” honoring a city benefactor. This name stuck for a period, even appearing in some records as “Rue Jeannot.” By the late 19th century, Rue Jannot became a haven for those fleeing Brittany. Many found work in the nearby chemical factories. But the street’s identity would shift again in 1955. It was then that it was rechristened Rue Gaston Philippe. This honored Gaston Philippe, a former mayor of Saint-Denis. His life and legacy became intertwined with this street. He lived at No. 8 Rue Gaston Philippe, and his wife ran a bustling café at No. 12. So, as you stroll down Rue Gaston Philippe, remember, you’re walking through layers of history, each imprinted in the street’s very name.
