Along the street, there are residential houses (including historic buildings from the interwar period), and the trees growing alongside it give it the character of an avenue.

It begins at the intersection with Zwycięzców Street [pl] at Przymierza Square and ends at Washington Roundabout.

[3] The construction of the street began in the 1930s, facilitated by an agreement reached on 14 October 1931 between local landowners and city authorities.

[4] The development of the street was also boosted by the activities of the Water Company of the Wawer District, which led to the establishment of a network of canals.

As Bronisław Kopczyński wrote:Saska Kępa, and it wasn't that long ago, in 1933 it had only a dozen or so houses and villas on Miedzeszyńska Street, then the main artery, and a few on Francuska.

[13] In 1942, in one of the apartments on Francuska Street, Anna Jachnina [pl] wrote the lyrics of the song Siekiera, motyka.

[14] After the end of the German occupation, the Capital Reconstruction Bureau [pl] decided to maintain the street's existing character, i.e., its role as both a transportation route and a commercial area.

[15] During the socialist realism period, plans were made to build a monumental colonnade surrounding the southern semicircle of Washington Roundabout with an interruption at the entrance to Francuska Street.

The surface, sidewalks, parking spaces, and bus stops were all replaced, and separate lanes for turning into subordinate streets were designated.
