Paris is paying a lasting tribute to the late British music icon David Bowie by dedicating a street in his honour in the southeastern part of the city. Many dub this tribute as "immortalising the rockstar".
According to France24: "The new street, situated between two modern office buildings, including the headquarters of news publications Le Monde and L’Obs, opens onto avenue Pierre-Mendes-France and will connect to the future bridge linking the avenue to boulevard de l’Hopital, near Austerlitz train station and Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital."
