Laid out by Louis XIV, the Grands Boulevards were the original Parisian boulevards, a series of eight tree-lined promenades that later became the heart of Belle Époque Paris. Today, this lively district invites visitors to wander through opulent 19th-century shopping arcades, admire the intricate facades of Haussmannian mansions, and enjoy performances at some of the city’s most legendary theaters.
