The 390 meter long Boulevard des Italiens [ bulvaʁ desˈitaljɛ̃ ] is located in the 2nd and 9th arrondissement of Paris and is one of the 4 Grands Boulevards des Rive Droite .
Location and access
It is part of the chain of Grands Boulevards that stretches from west to east: Boulevards de la Madeleine , des Capucines , des Italiens, Montmartre , Poissonnière , Bonne-Nouvelle , Saint-Denis , Saint-Martin , du Temple , des Filles- du-Calvaire and Beaumarchais .
It can be reached by metro via the Opéra and Richelieu - Drouot stations .
Name origin
It owes its name to the Théâtre-Italien , which was built here in 1783 and is now called Opéra-Comique .
history
First the boulevards Saint-Denis , Saint-Martin , du Temple , de Filles du Calvaire and Beaumarchais were built from June 1670 , followed by the boulevards Bonnes Nouvelles, Poissonière, Montmartre , des Italiens, des Capucines and de la Madelaine in July 1676 . According to the king's decree of June 21, 1704, it was allowed to be converted into a road . It was initially called rue Neuve-Saint-Augustin and subsequently changed its street name frequently . It was first renamed boulevard du Dépôt (around 1764), then boulevard de la Chaussée d'Antin and, during the French Revolution, boulevard Cerutti , boulevard petit Coblence (after 1795) and boulevard de Gant (1815-1828). In 1828 it got its current name from the former "Théâtre italien de Paris" founded in 1793, today's Opéra-Comique , which is located in the nearby Place Boieldieu . A royal resolution of April 16, 1831 ensured the final street layout and a street width of 35 meters.
