This Avenue de la Chapelle. A hidden gem tucked away in the heart of Paris. You might be surprised to know that it wasn’t always meant to be grand or famous. Avenue de la Chapelle is a private street. It’s nestled within the charming Villa des Ternes. This charming little street got its name from a piece of history that’s been almost forgotten. It’s named after the Chapelle Saint-Ferdinand. This chapel was a landmark in the hamlet of Ternes. The chapel predates the beautiful Église Notre-Dame-de-Compassion de Paris. The Avenue de la Chapelle came to be as part of the development of the Villa des Ternes. Today, it stands as a quiet reminder of the area’s rich past.
