Place Claude-Chappe (Millières)

Plaque de rue.

Place Claude-Chappe.

La place Claude-Chappe est une voie de Millières.

Son nom honore la mémoire de Claude Chappe (1763-1805), inventeur du télégraphe du même nom dont une tour carrée (poste n° 10) sur la ligne Avranches-Cherbourg était implantée dans la commune dans le « pré du Télégraphe » situé de l'autre côté de la D431 .

Histoire

Au début des années 1990, une association pour la mémoire du télégraphe contacte les maires des communes dans lesquelles a été implantée une tour Chappe, afin de faire une action pour commémorer le bicentenaire du télégraphe Chappe. Le conseil municipal de Millières décide de nommer la place de l'Église, « Place Claude-Chappe ».

Situation

C'est la place de l'église Saint-Étienne située en haut de la côte de l'Aumône.
