History
Peter I of Serbia
Avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie was previously part of rue Pierre Charron, and before that a segment of rue de Morny (today part of Pierre Charron).[2] The avenue was officially created on 14 July 1918.[1] It was named in honor of Peter I of Serbia (1846-1921), last king of Serbia and first king of Yugoslavia, who volunteered to serve in the French Army, the French Foreign Legion, and was decorated with the French Legion of Honour.[3]
