Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Descriptive name
Theme: Places and destinations

Cette avenue ouverte en 1871 fait directement référence au Hameau de la Chasse Royale, existant depuis au moins le XVIe siècle et qui était un domaine royal, sans doute réservé à la chasse pour la haute noblesse. (remark in French, as published)
