Grand Boulevards är ett parisiskt grannskap som finns på torget som bildas av Place de la Madeleine, boulevard de Strasbourg, rue Réaumur och rue Richer, i stadens nionde arrondissement. Det rekommenderas inte att ta sig till Grand Boulevards med bil eftersom parkering är knapp och komplicerad. Området består av flera tunnelbanestationer, inklusive Grands Boulevards, Opéra, Strasbourg Saint-Denis, Bourse och Chaussée d'Antin (med linje 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 12 och 14).
The Grand Boulevards district is serviced by several Metro stations including Grands Boulevards, Opéra, Strasbourg Saint-Denis, Bourse, and Chaussée d’Antin via lines 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 12, and 14.
There is something for everyone at any hour in Grands Boulevards. Shoppers appear in droves during the daytime, and at night, the neighborhood gets a second wind, with bars starting to fill and lines starting to form outside nightclubs.
While you’re exploring the neighborhood, look for the glass-covered passageways and arcades created around the turn of the 19th century to keep the upper crust denizens dry as they shopped. An architectural style unique to Paris, and especially to Grands Boulevards, each pedestrian passageway has its own character, whether it be a particular ethnic focus, wholesale goods, or designer clothing. Many have tea rooms, cafés, and restaurants.
