History
The Avenue Pierre Ier de Serbie was previously part of the Rue Pierre Charron, and before that a segment of the Rue de Morny (today part of Pierre Charron).
The avenue was officially created on 14 July 1918. It was named in honour of Peter I of Serbia (1846–1921), last king of Serbia and first king of Yugoslavia, who volunteered to serve in the French Army, the French Foreign Legion, and was decorated with the French Legion of Honour.
