History and visit the Boulevard Barbès in Paris

Boulevard Barbès is a significant thoroughfare in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, measuring 835 meters in length and 30 meters in width. It lies within the Goutte d’Or and Clignancourt neighborhoods. Named after the French politician Armand Barbès, a figure known as the Bayard of democracy, who was born in Point-a-Pitre, the boulevard was integrated into Paris in 1860, traversing the village of Clignancourt. Its construction was part of the grand urbanization projects under Baron Haussmann, completed in 1867. Initially, it included the southern part of Boulevard Ornano and the streets of Fishmongers and Lévisses.

The boulevard has undergone several improvements to enhance public transport, pedestrian, and bicycle pathways, reflecting the City of Paris’s commitment to reducing pollution, noise, and improving comfort. The redevelopment completed in 2007 not only enhanced the quality of life but also boosted the area’s commercial vitality. The boulevard is served by Line 4 of the Paris Metro, with three stations: Marcadet Poissonniers at the northern end, Château Rouge in the center, and Barbès-Rochechouart at the southern end, also served by Line 2.
