Discover more about Bd Montmartre

Boulevard Montmartre is a bustling Parisian street that captures the essence of the city's vibrant culture and history. Constructed in 1763, this grand boulevard is one of the four 'grands boulevards' of Paris, offering a rich tapestry of shops, cafes, and entertainment venues. Despite its name, the boulevard is not located in the Montmartre district itself, but rather serves as a border between the 2nd and 9th arrondissements. Historically, Boulevard Montmartre has been a focal point of Parisian life. In 1851, it hosted an auction of a gold ingot to finance the expatriation of gold prospectors to San Francisco. The boulevard has also been immortalized in art, most notably by Camille Pissarro, who painted a series of canvases capturing the street at different times of day and in varying weather conditions. These paintings offer a glimpse into the boulevard's ever-changing atmosphere. Today, Boulevard Montmartre remains a lively destination for both locals and tourists. Visitors can explore the unique shops and boutiques, indulge in classic French cuisine at the numerous cafes and restaurants, or catch a show at one of the historic theaters. The boulevard is also conveniently located near several other attractions, including the Passage Jouffroy and the Musée Grévin.
