Where its name comes from

Kind of name: Symbolic name
Theme: Nature
Named in: 1931

Le surnom du quartier étant fond du diable, les autorités communales décidèrent en 1931 de changer le toponyme et de lui attribuer un nom plus positif et confiant. Ainsi naquit l'avenue des Paradisiers. Partiellement sur Auderghem. (remark in French, as published)
