This street, which has no other name and whose existence dates back at least to 1833, bears the name of the French writer François Marie Arouet, known as Voltaire (1694âÂÂ1778).
The original alleyway had a zigzagging path between historical residences, led to both a communal watering point and a wash house. Its route included a notable bend where it skirted the periphery of the , a building built on the foundations of a 16th-century country house. The château experienced numerous ownership changes throughout the centuries. In 1910, the property underwent its final sale; the subsequent owners leased the main house to a wine merchant.
The establishment of the Rue Voltaire, a new thoroughfare, cut through the château's grounds. This development culminated in the irreversible demolition of the Château des Imbergères in 1939.
The street was widened again in 1933, removing the Rue de la Lune. The entire site was repaved in the early 2020s.
