I don't have the slightest idea if Woodrow Wilson ever even saw this street during any visit to Paris, but he was appropriately honoured on July 1st, 1918 for his assistance in the first World War, which was still in progress. It was originally called avenue de l'Empereur (Napoléon, I presume) and then became avenue du Trocadéro in 1871. It is in an extremely nice part of town. Today, I had the very odd idea to walk along just one side of the street, which is 970 metres long. My plan was to take a photo of every door along the street.

Here is the entrance to a small park and the Galléria museum.    This is the Apostalic Nunciature. Doesn't ring a bell? How about the Holy See? Yes, the embassy of Vatican City hides behind strange names.  And this ends avenue du Président Wilson.  Thanks to fumobici for an inspiration about doors. |

I am flattered. Those are some sharp doors. You chose a great street to document, fully up to Italian standards. ;D

Some real beauties there! Are any of those private residences?
(I just wish I weren't now compulsively humming "Green Door".)

Just about all of them are apartment buildings, sometimes with things like lawyers' offices on the lower floors.
