What secrets does Avenue Henri Ravera hold? Avenue Henri Ravera in Bagneux isn’t just a street. It’s a pathway through time, connecting the town’s vibrant present to its rich past. This avenue, one of Bagneux’s major thoroughfares, stretches from the historic town center at Place de la République towards Montrouge. Avenue Henri Ravera, named after a prominent former mayor (1919-1985), wasn’t always known by this name. Its northern parts were once called Rue de Paris, then Rue de Fontenay as it neared the church, and finally Rue Pavée where it circled the original village. As you walk along Avenue Henri Ravera, you’ll pass the site of the vanished Château de Garlande, a 12th-century marvel lost to the 19th century. The avenue also borders the Parisian Cemetery of Bagneux, its walls a silent testament to the passage of time. Further down lies the former tramway depot for line 80, which closed in 1937. Now transformed into the municipal technical center, these three halls echo the ghost of Bagneux’s transport past. The present-day Avenue Henri Ravera offers glimpses into the past. At number 1, a traditional house holds Le Brazza, a bar-tabac. Across at number 2, an old house shelters a bank. Number 13, once an old house, is now a photographer’s studio. Number 53 stands out, a testament to the vision of architect Léon Georges Mériot. Close by, the imposing Hôtel de Ville, Bagneux’s town hall, occupies number 57. Originally built in 1959 for Schlumberger, its 1,600 square meters of office space and 1,500 square meters of workshops now serve the town. Even the sporting life has a place on Avenue Henri Ravera. Number 98 is home to the Port-Talbot rugby stadium, a local landmark renovated in 2023. Avenue Henri Ravera truly embodies the spirit of Bagneux. It’s a dynamic avenue where history and modernity intertwine.
