The rue de la Victoire (=Victory street) is a street in the IXe arrondissement of Paris.
The former name of the street was "rue Chantereine" ("Chantereine"="Singing frogs", because at that time, the quarter was swampy and there were many frogs). The street took the name "rue de la Victoire" from 1797 to 1816 after the victorious campaign of Napoleon in Italy. There was also an hotel belonging to Napoleon in the street.
