Desire Street Desire Street is a street in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States. According to John Churchill Chase, the street is named for Désirée Gautier Montreuil, the daughter of Robert Gautier de Montrieul who owned the plantation on the land where the street now lies. She married François de La Barre, for whom Labarre Road in Metairie is named. Her sister, Elmire de Montrieul, also had a street named after which was itself anglicized as Elmire Street, however it was renamed to Gallier Street circa 1895. Jed Horne, author of the 2005 book Desire Street, suggests that name is a misspelled homage to Désirée Clary a fiancé of Napoleon. The play "A Streetcar Named Desire", by Tennessee Williams, refers to the former streetcar line to this street.
