The Rue Pierre Charron (pronounced as /fr/) is a street in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, near the Avenue Montaigne high-fashion district.
This street was once part of a single Rue de Morny that extended until the Place d'Iéna. Already with its present name, its section between the Avenue George V and the abovementioned place was renamed the Avenue Pierre Ier de Serbie in 1918.
Le Gerny's is the name of a former Parisian nightclub located at 54 rue Pierre-Charron. The nightclub is now mostly known as the venue where Edith Piaf made her professional debut, after its owner and director Louis Leplee spotted her singing on a Paris street, and promoted her giving her the nickname la môme Piaf ("The Little Sparrow") in October 1935, when performing at his club.
Pierre Charron (1541–1603) was a French philosopher, author of Traité de la Sagesse (Treatise on Wisdom), and a friend of fellow philosopher Montaigne after whom the nearby Avenue Montaigne is named.
The Rue Pierre Charron empties into the Avenue des Champs-Elysées about midway between métro line 1 stations George V and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Also nearby are metro line 9's Saint-Philippe du Roule (to the north) and Alma-Marceau (to the south).
Mentioned in French singer/songwriter Renaud's "Les Charognards."
