Origin of the name
The former name of the street was "Rue Chantereine", which means "singing frogs", after the many frogs in the area as the quarter was swampy. The street took the name "Rue de la Victoire" in 1797 after the success of Napoleon's campaign in Italy. In 1816, during the Bourbon Restoration, the street changed its name, but the name was restored in 1833.
