The Auteuil neighborhood is bounded on the north by Rue de l\u2019Assomption and Rue de Boulainvilliers, on the south and west by the Bois de Boulogne, and on the east by the Seine.
The name Auteuil derives from its geographical location, as the town was situated on a hill. Annexed to Paris in 1859, Auteuil was a true village, with its own train station, church, cemetery, market, and small shops lining the main street. As early as the 17th century, on the road to Versailles, it became a vacation destination for nobles and the bourgeoisie, attracting them with its lush green surroundings, its renowned spring waters (traces of which still remain in the names of certain streets such as Rue de la Source, Rue de la Cure, and Rue Jean de la Fontaine\u2014which, before being named after the fabulist, was called Rue de la Fontaine), and its location between the river and the forest. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
