The Boulevard de Clichy (French pronunciation: [bulvaʁ də kliʃi]), also known as the Boulevard Clichy, is a famous street of Paris, which lends its name to the Place de Clichy. It results 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.
