The Boulevard Raspail (French pronunciation: [bulvaʁ ʁaspaj]) is a boulevard of the Rive Gauche of Paris, France. Its orientation is north–south, and joins the Boulevard Saint-Germain with the Place Denfert-Rochereau whilst traversing the 7th, 6th and 14th arrondissements. The boulevard intersects major roadways: the Rue de Sèvres, the Rue de Rennes and the Boulevard du Montparnasse. The Allée Claude-Cahun-Marcel-Moore is situated on the boulevard, in front of the Alliance française. Its former name was the Boulevard d'Enfer, of which the passage d'Enfer is a vestigial relic.
