The
Boulevard de Clichy is a famous street of Paris, which lends its name to the
Place de Clichy, resulted from the fusion, in 1864, of the roads that paralleled the
Wall of the Farmers-General, both inside and out. It extends from the
Place de Clichy to the
Rue des Martyrs, nearly a kilometre away. During its tenure, the street has been known as the
Boulevard des Martyrs, then the
Boulevard Pigalle, and, finally, the
Boulevard de Clichy. It is equally well known as the
Boulevard Clichy.
