Named after the rue Faidherbe and the rue Chaligny.
The rue Faidherbe honours General Louis Faidherbe (1818–1889), governor of Senegal, who commanded the Army of the North in the war of 1870–1871; it got his name by an order of 18 April 1890. The rue Chaligny, opened in 1856 as the rue de l'Empereur, was renamed in 1864 after the Chaligny family, 16th-century bronze founders.
