The Boulevard Beaumarchais [ bulvaʁ bomaʀˈʃɛ ] is the longest of the Grands Boulevards in Paris with a length of 750 meters and runs in the 3rd , 4th and 11th arrondissemements between the Place de la Bastille and the Boulevard des Filles-du-Calvaire .
Name origin
The traffic route was named after Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732–1799; French businessman, musician , poet and dramaturge ). Beaumarchais is best known as a writer .
History of origin
Starting in 1668, Louis XIV had the northern Paris city walls removed, which were laid out under Charles V and under Louis XIII. had been extended to the west. The Boulevard Beaumarchais was one of the first to be commissioned on June 7, 1670 and had an 18 meter wide median. Under the direction of the architect Pierre Bullet , the so-called Nouveau Cours , an avenue of trees between the old city gates Porte Saint-Honoré (today Place de la Madeleine ) and the Porte Saint-Antoine at the Bastille, was laid out on the resulting open space . On the basis of the decree of the royal council of "Sun King" Louis XIV of June 7th, 1670, the "Boulevard de la Porte Saint-Antoine" and "Boulevard Bourdon" were to be built on the vacated wall area. In the Plan de Turgot from 1739, next to the rue des Tournelles, a tree-lined area leading from the Bastille can be seen, where the boulevard was to be built. Construction began on Porte Saint-Antoine, which was demolished in 1778. The wall surface was rounded off and created space for the 35 meter wide Boulevard Saint-Antoine .
Here - at the location of the street called "rue Jean Beau Sire" in a city view from 1676 - the writer Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais acquired a 1 hectare property on June 26, 1787, on which he built a magnificent three-story house in 1788 walled park designed by François-Joseph Bélanger . The property stretched from the Boulevard Saint-Antoine to the parallel rue Amelot . From here, Beaumarchais could watch the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789. At his request, he was buried in the garden of his house in May 1799. The property was demolished in 1818 for the construction of the Canal Saint-Martin , and Beaumarchai's remains were transferred to the Père-Lachaise cemetery . On the site of the feudal city palace, the city built a salt store for the salt transported on the nearby Canal Saint-Martin.
