In 1877, a shift in Montreuil’s political landscape occurred. Rue Arsène Chéreau is named after the radical who took the mayoral seat that year: Arsène Chéreau. He replaced Théphile Sueur, a man of the right. Chéreau’s tenure marked a period of political opposition between radicals and right-wing supporters. This dynamic played out on the local stage, with figures like Ariste Hémard and Victor Ernest Savart later holding the mayoral office. Rue Arsène Chéreau stands as a reminder of this era. It’s a testament to the changing tides of power and the individuals who shaped Montreuil’s history.
