Deep beneath the elegant façade of Rue des Bauches, lies a story of mud and wild boars. Yes, right here, where we stand today in the sophisticated 16th arrondissement of Paris, once existed a muddy terrain known as “les bauches.” This area, now the Rue des Bauches, served as a haven for wild boars. The very name, “bauches”, whispers of this muddy past, a stark contrast to the refined present. Rue des Bauches officially received its name in 1913. However, its story began much earlier as the “sentier des Bauches”, or path of the muddy grounds. Imagine this area teeming with these wild creatures, their grunts echoing through the dense foliage. The transformation from wild boar hangout to a street in Paris is remarkable. At number 7 bis Rue des Bauches, a plaque commemorates General Henri Aubé. He resided here from 1883 to 1935. A testament to the area’s rich history. Furthermore, nestled between the former streets of Marietta Martin and Pajou, a section of Rue des Bauches was renamed in 1938. It became part of Rue du Général Aubé, adding another layer to the street’s intriguing narrative. The Rue des Bauches offers a glimpse into the past. It reminds us that even the most sophisticated places hold hidden stories of untamed nature.
