Summary[edit]

Description

Le nom de place de Bitche avait d’abord été attribué, à la fin du 19e siècle, à une voie du 16e arrondissement de Paris mais cela posa un problème diplomatique lorsque la légation des États-Unis s’y installa en raison du sens de l'insulte "Bitch" en anglais...

Le maintien d’une voie du nom de "Bitche" à Paris - dans le quartier Crimée, Paris 19e - marquait la sollicitude des autorités françaises envers la ville lorraine de Bitche alors annexée par l'Allemagne (Alsace-Lorraine). La guerre n'était pas loin...

En ce jour de 11 novembre, on peut aussi conclure "War is a bitch"
