French Place & Street Names

On May 23, 1806, Napoleon I signed a decree ordering that "new street inscriptions will be carried out in oil, and, for the first time, at the expense of the Paris Commune." These new inscriptions were to replace the stone tablets of the 18th century, but, after a few decades, they became illegible and they had to be redone in 1847 at the same time that a general building renumbering system was being undertaken. New plaques were made of porcelain baked at high temperatures. A decree from 1938 outlines their technical specifications:

"The plaques receiving a street name inscription will be rectangular and will have different dimensions depending on the size of the name being inscribed. They will be designed according to the following model:

• White letters or numbers
• Azure blue backgrounds"
