Avenue Taillade

The Avenue Taillade is in Paris's 20th arrondissement. It begins at 28 Rue Frédérick-Lemaître and ends in a dead end. The street was named in honor of the actor Paul Félix Taillade. The area originally consisted of gardens, which were built over in two phases: stone buildings went up here around 1900, and a group of modern apartment buildings was added in 1965. After a period as a private lane, the street was not officially incorporated into the city's street network of Paris until January 7, 1970.
