“An ‘associated street’? What does that even mean?” a confused voice wondered aloud. We find ourselves standing before Avenue du Docteur Meige, a rather unassuming street in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. You might be surprised to find its claim to fame is a bit more…anatomical. The street is named after Henri Meige, a French neurologist who practiced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Now, why would a seemingly ordinary street bear the name of a doctor? The answer lies in Dr. Meige’s rather unique area of study. He dedicated his career to understanding and treating neurological disorders, particularly those affecting movement. In fact, he even has a medical syndrome named after him: Meige syndrome! His legacy lives on, not just in medical textbooks, but here on Avenue du Docteur Meige, reminding us that even the most unassuming places can hold intriguing stories.
