Place des Ternes
— Histoire de Paris —
The origin of the village of Ternes was a farm, located between Roule and the Rouvray forest (Bois de Boulogne) called “Villa externa” (External farm). This property subsequently became the Château des Ternes, attached to Neuilly. It was annexed to the capital in 1860, the Ternois became Parisians and the district continued to transform. Place des Ternes is located on the site of the Barriere du Roule, a gateway to Paris built by Louis XVI, intended for the collection of taxes. It was a tall building made up of four pedimented front buildings of a very massive appearance. From 1860, the 55 barriers which surrounded Paris were demolished one after the other.
