The Allée Nicole Girard-Mangin is a pedestrian path lined with young trees and benches in the eleventh arrondissement. It commemorates the first woman commissioned as a doctor in the French army during the First World War. Nicole Girard-Mangin served at the front in Verdun, where she managed a hospital for soldiers suffering from tuberculosis. She returned to civilian life after the war and founded the French League against Tuberculosis, though she faced professional exclusion because of her gender throughout her medical career.
