The Rue de Solférino (French pronunciation: [ʁy d(ə) sɔlfeʁino]; "Street of Solferino") is a street in the Rive Gauche area of Paris. It was most commonly heard as a reference to the headquarters of the Socialist Party, which were located there until 2018[1]. The street is named after the Battle of Solferino, fought by Napoleon III and Victor Emmanuel II against Francis Joseph of Austria in 1859.
