Have you ever heard of a street named after a centenarian? Here in Dugny, Rue Éva Chastagnol stands as a tribute to just that. Éva Chastagnol, a remarkable woman who lived in this town for over a century, passed away in 2020. Rue Éva Chastagnol wasn’t always its name. It was one of eight streets in the media village for the 2024 Olympics. The town decided to honor women by naming all the streets after influential female figures. Éva Chastagnol’s name was chosen through an online consultation. Now, Rue Éva Chastagnol is more than just a street. It’s a testament to a long life lived within this community. It’s a reminder of Dugny’s commitment to recognizing the contributions of women, both local and national. This street, once bustling with journalists from around the world, now forms part of a residential neighborhood. It carries with it the energy of the Olympics and the quiet legacy of Éva Chastagnol. As you walk along Rue Éva Chastagnol, consider the life she lived and the stories she could tell.
