History
Originally named the Boulevard de Monceau, the Avenue Hoche was first opened in 1854 between the Rue de Tilsitt and the Place de l'Etoile. Three years later, it was extended from the Rue de Tilsitt to the Rue de Courcelles. It was later renamed in honour of General Lazare Hoche.[1]
French royalist and general Athanase-Charles-Marie Charette de la Contrie lived there after the royal family was removed from the Palace of Versailles.
