The Chaussée de l'Étang is an historical street of the city, as it was first referred to during the construction of the Château de Vincennes in the 13th century.[citation needed] Then, around 1275, Philippe Le Hardi (Philip III of France) removed all Saint-Mandé's inhabitants to prepare the infrastructure of the castle. Those found a new place along the lake (the lac de Saint-Mandé), on the edge of the castle walls. This is the birth of the "Chiaussée de l'Estanc" (old French), mentioned for the first time in 1276.
