Vial", to distinguish him from his brother Georges, which initially caused some confusion with Henri Vialmonteil, who at the time was called "Vial" in short.

Gentilly, Val-de-Marne
Gentilly () is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. It is the closest commune to Paris, located from the city center. Name The name Gentilly was recorded for the first time in the 6th century as ''Gentilly'', a royal estate of some importance where coinage was minted. The etymology of the name seems to be "estate of Gentilius", a Gallo-Roman landowner. However, some other researchers think that the name is connected with Latin ''gentilis'' (meaning " gentile", " pagan", "foreigner") in reference to foreign goldsmiths who may have settled in Gentilly in the Early Middle Ages. History On 1 January 1860, the city of Paris was enlarged by annexing neighboring communes. On that occasion, about half of the commune of Gentilly was annexed to Paris, and forms now the neighborhoods of Maison-Blanche and Glacière, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
