Boulevard

With the direction first, a boulevard is a transportation route resting on old rampart S, since the word comes from Dutch bolwerk meaning rampart . It thus makes it possible to circumvent a Ville outside (like a peripheral Ceinture does it). It is normally a relatively important way (four lanes or more) with broad pedestrian alleys on its edges.

The Parisian boulevard

The practice of the boulevard in town planning especially begins at the 18th century with Paris possible skirting from the enclosures, then accelerates under the Second Empire with the policy Haussmann ienne of urban ventilation (axes of walks).

Certain axes of great circulation created with Paris in the Années 1850 received the name of “boulevard” whereas they do not occupy the site old Fortification S (Boulevard Saint-Michel, Boulevard of Sébastopol). As of 1860, a charged commission of the Nomenclature decided however to hold from now on the name of boulevard to concentric ways: from where denomination of the Boulevards of the Marshals and the Which occurred of the Opera.

Modern town planning

However, one will be able to notice that it is a roadway system which must comprise at least on its edges of the alleys planted to deserve its name.
