In 1925, Avenue Gaston Boissier in Viroflay received its name, honoring historian Gaston Boissier who lived at number 12. Avenue Gaston Boissier follows the route of departmental road 56. It begins at the intersection of Rue Jean-Rey, Rue Henri-Welschinger, and Rue Molière. The avenue then stretches eastward, crossing the Invalides to Versailles-Rive-Gauche railway line. Interestingly, the northern side of Avenue Gaston Boissier then becomes part of Chaville. The avenue intersects with Boulevard de la Libération, formerly known as Boulevard des Trois-Gares. Avenue Gaston Boissier concludes at Rue de Jouy, where it continues as Rue du Pavé-de-Meudon. You can easily access Avenue Gaston Boissier via the Viroflay-Rive-Gauche, Chaville – Vélizy, and Chaville-Rive-Gauche train stations. Historically, this avenue traces its origins back to the old route connecting Chaville and Viroflay village. Originally called Chemin de Chaville, it likely formed a section of the old road from Paris to Dreux. This route was diverted in 1657 by Michel Le Tellier to create the Pavé des Gardes. Notable figures like politician Jacques Chaban-Delmas and aviator Alfred Fronval once resided on Avenue Gaston Boissier. The street also boasts landmarks like the former Gaillon stud farm, Viroflay’s town hall, and the parish house “Mamré” along with Viroflay’s presbytery.
