The Place des Ternes of Paris !

Posted in France, Paris

This is again an update of memorable moment enjoying this wonderful square of my eternal Paris. I have several posts on some of the streets of Paris and this one is one of them, Well, you never finish with Paris. its eternal!!!  Therefore, here is my take on the Place des Ternes of Paris ! Hope you enjoy the post as I

The Place des Ternes is located touching the 8éme and 17éme arrondissements of Paris. It is located at the crossroads of avenue de Wagram, boulevard de Courcelles, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré and avenue des Ternes, near place de l’Etoile. Its site is served by the line 2 at the Ternes metro station, located in the middle of the square.

It takes its name from its neighborhood with the avenue des Ternes which crossed the old hamlet of Ternes. The place is pierced and takes its current name in 1893 on the right-of-way of part of the avenue de Wagram. The square is located on the site of the old granting barrier, the Barriére du Roule. It is famous for having seen Louis the XVI captured on his return from Varennes.  This Roule barrier was a tall building of four fronts on a fronton of a very impressive strong look . From 1860 ,the 55 barriers that encircled Paris were demolished   one after the other.

The Ternes quartier or neighborhood is the 65th of Paris, and located in the 17éme arrondissement or district. It is also considered one of the most posh in Paris. It is crossed right through by the avenue des Ternes which has formed its central axis for centuries. In Ternes, the first urban nucleus was not formed around a religious establishment but a feudal residence. The origins it was a farm between between Haut Roule and the forest of Rouvray (Bois de Boulogne) called villa externa   This property came into ownership by the Castle of Ternes belonging to Neuilly , and annexed to Paris in 1860.

I come here when not already in Paris, by car, and do find nice parking underground. Very clean, airy and huge parking lot. Located at 38 avenue des Ternes with the pedestrian access is located right on avenue des Ternes. To access the reception, take the staircase E and descend to level – 2 (minus 2).

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
