Rue Clemenceau

Rue Clemenceau is a commercial and residential street in Beirut, Lebanon.

The street was named in honor of Georges Clemenceau who accepted the post of premier of France in 1917 during World War I.

The neighborhood straddling Clemenceau Street was prior to the war one of the most cosmopolitan areas of the city and home to Christians, Muslims, Druze and Jews.

The Ecole Supérieure des Affaires is also located on Clemenceau and the Collège de la Sagesse section Saint-Élie which is one of the best catholic schools in the country[citation needed].

Also located on Rue Clemenceau is the 55,000 square-meter, business complex, Centre Gefinor, which was designed in the late 1960s by Dr. ETH Ing.
