Rue Montéra

The Rue Montéra is located in the Bel-Air neighborhood of Paris's 12th arrondissement. The street's name, which commemorates a local landowner, goes back to a long historical development. The path appears on maps as early as 1730, before it was laid out as the Rue des Quatre-Bornes in what was then the commune of Saint-Mandé between 1853 and 1857. In 1863 it was incorporated into the Paris street network, and in 1867 it was officially renamed Rue Montéra. A distinctive feature of the area is the course of the former Petite Ceinture railway loop, which crosses the street. You can easily reach the spot via the Porte de Vincennes metro station or tram line 3a.
