Originally named Boulevard de Monceau, Avenue Hoche was first opened in 1854 between Rue de Tilsett and Place de l'Etoile. Three years later, it was extended from Rue de Tilsett to Celle de Courselles. Later it was later renamed in honour of General Lazare Hoche.[1]

French royalist and general Athanase-Charles-Marie Charette de la Contrie lived here after the royal family was removed from the Palace of Versailles.
