Rue de l'Arc de Triomphe: this small street, which today leads nowhere and which could be described as an alley, follows the route of one of the eight radiating paths of the "Étoile de Chaillot," the ancestor of our Place Charles de Gaulle Étoile, which was laid out and planted with trees as early as 1724, under the supervision of the Duke of Antin. Although this undeveloped alley, located in the countryside, probably had no name, it appears on maps from the early 18th century and is one of the oldest roads in the neighborhood.

More or less left fallow at the end of the 18th century, it was reopened as a street by Mr. Brey, an architect, in 1827. Completed in 1846, it then ran from the Place de l'Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile to the Rue des Acacias, a crossroads.

It was only four years after the completion of The Rue de l'Arc de Triomphe was where the Star Etoile hotel was built, which later became Star Champs-Elysées.
