Ancient gate in the
fortifications leading for the road to Orléans, it is the
southest gate of Paris. It is here that tanks of the 2nd armed
division came in to free Paris on August 25th 1944. General Leclerc
entered by Porte
d'Orléans standing
in his scout-car, to defeat General Von Choltitz. The avenue from
Porte d'Orleans to Alesia and Denfert Rochereau keeps his
name.
The street of Père
Corentin, formerly calles
the green
way (map of 1730), take
it's name from Father Corentin (1894-1944), patriot killed by the
Germans on Aug. 28th 1944 in his covent of
Saint-François.
At the end of that streets, stands the
depot of line 38. You can't visit it, but you can always try to meet
us there!
The Crêperie (take-away pan-cakes) at crossroad
avenue du Général Leclerc... just beside our terminal: The
biggest pan-cakes of Paris! We often go there for our break-lunch time ;-)
and also the delicious french bakery Thévenin.
The
DRAGOON restaurant. A small place for chineese and thai meals, really
good ones... The very kind owner welcomes you with a large smile always.
