Route

Rue Brancion starts at 6, Place d'Alleray and ends at 167, Boulevard Lefebvre.[1]

It forms the eastern boundary of Parc Georges-Brassens and crosses over the disused tracks of the Petite Ceinture railway line.

History

In 1864, the street was named after Colonel Adolphe-Ernest Raguet de Brancion, who was killed in the Malakoff bastion attack in 1855.[1]

The southern part of the street, between Rue des Morillons and Boulevard Lefebvre, was previously known as "rue du Pont de Turbigo".[1]

The street was extended from Rue des Morillons to Rue de Vouillé in 1901, then from Rue de Vouillé to Rue d'Alleray in 1906.[2]
