Boulevard de Clichy

The Boulevard de Clichy is a famous boulevard in the 9th and 18th arrondissements of Paris, France. Running through the Quartier Saint-Georges, Pigalle, and Rochechouart, the boulevard was created in 1864 after the roads on both sides of the former Wall of the Ferme générale were fused together. The boulevard extends from the Place de Clichy to the Rue des Martyrs, and it was home to artists such as Edgar Degas, Pablo Picasso, William Didier-Pouget, Francis Tattegrain, James Abbott McNeil Whistler, Honore Daumier, Jean-Leon Gerome, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, as well as the Moulin Rouge.
