Boulevard Legentil-de-la-Galaisière (Coutances)

Vue ancienne sur l'hospice et le couvent des Augustines.

Le boulevard Legentil-de-la-Galaisière est une voie de Coutances.

Son nom est un hommage à Guillaume Le Gentil (1725-1792), astronome coutançais.

Histoire

Comme le boulevard Jeanne-Paynel, c'est un tronçon du boulevard de l'Est, longue promenade ombragée créée au début du 19^e siècle par le baron Louis-Marie Duhamel, maire de la ville sur des jardins des anciens couvents, devenus biens nationaux à la Révolution .

Il prend ce nom le 18 juin 1866, jour où la place voisine est dotée, elle aussi, du nom d'un astronome .

Situation

Cette voie commence, au sud-ouest, rue Saint-Pierre. Elle se termine, au nord-est, rue de la Mission. Elle longe la place Lefrançois-de-Lalande.
