Have you ever wondered who this avenue is named after? The one that seems to rise up between the Avenue Jean Jaurès and the Place Armand Carrel? Well, this is Avenue de Laumière. It was named after a general, Xavier Jean-Marie Clèment Vernhet de Laumière, who died in the 19th century during a French intervention in Mexico. Avenue de Laumière is more than just a street, it is a reminder of a time when France was a global force and that the brave men and women who stood up for their ideals were recognized throughout the country. When you think of cobblestone streets, you think of the timeless beauty of the City of Lights. The Avenue de Laumière, with its unique and somewhat hidden appearance, is a reminder that Paris is more than just a tourist trap. Just pause for a moment, close your eyes, and imagine yourself walking on this beautiful pavement, and let the history wash over you like a gentle breeze.
