Michel-Ange – Molitor

Paris 16e

Named after the rue Michel-Ange and the rue Molitor.

The rue Michel-Ange honours Michelangelo (1475–1564). The rue Molitor, once the nouvelle route d'Auteuil, was named by decree of 2 March 1867 after Count Gabriel-Jean-Joseph Molitor (1770–1849), born in Hayange. He joined the army in 1791, fought at Essling and Wagram and became a Marshal of France after the 1823 expedition to Spain. Nearby lies Porte Molitor, a station built but never opened to the public.
