The original alleyway had a zigzagging path between historical residences, led to both a communal watering point and a wash house. Its route included a notable bend where it skirted the periphery of the Château des Imbergères , a building built on the foundations of a 16th-century country house. The château experienced numerous ownership changes throughout the centuries. In 1910, the property underwent its final sale; the subsequent owners leased the main house to a wine merchant.
The establishment of rue Voltaire, a new thoroughfare, cut through the château's grounds. This development culminated in the irreversible demolition of the Château des Imbergères in 1939. [6]
The street was widened again in 1933, [7] [8] removing the rue de la Lune. [9] The entire site was repaved in the early 2020s. [10]
