Beneath our feet lies the story of Rue de la Montagne de la Fage a street in Paris’s 15th arrondissement. This street wasn’t always here. Its existence is relatively recent. Rue de la Montagne de la Fage was created as part of the ZAC Citroën-Cévennes development.
Originally, it was known by the rather unromantic name of “voie AZ/15”. This was a temporary designation during construction. The street officially received its current name in 1989. The name pays homage to the Montagne de la Fage. This mountain is a peak in the Cévennes.
