Summary
More than 600 public places can be accounted for bearing the name of Pierre Brossolette, a top leader and hero of French Resistance, making it one of the top-20 most-featured all-time public names in France. Most of them were inaugurated before 1964, in which period he was actually considered the most influential leader and the greatest hero of the wartime period. Accessorily, street inaugurations were systematically made, before Jean Moulin's Panthéon enthronement in 1964, according to the official government "tripartite" chart: Henri Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves (representing royalists and by extension the right-wing), Pierre Brossolette (socialists) and Gabriel Péri (communists).
Among these places, most are streets/squares distributed all over France, including overseas counties like La Réunion. The total count nears 500 (at least 490 actually) streets ranging from boulevards to cul-de-sacs, squares and greens, quays and bridges.
Also at least 76 schools, 27 venues (stadia, gyms, community centers), 8 estates/projects and 23 condominia can be counted, adding up to a minimum count of 624 places (not including building and street plaques, steles and monuments).
