Register for Bonjour Paris Live: Rue du Faubourg Montmartre Belle Époque, Brasseries and Bonbons

Sunday, March 9th – 12:00-13:00 EST

Paris has a host of storied streets, but among the most trodden of all is Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, an ancient road linking Paris to the hilltop village of Montmartre. Traversed by everyone from the beheaded bishop Saint Denis to the Polish pianist Frédéric Chopin, in recent decades the street has often been overlooked by Paris lovers. Yet today, promeneurs are rediscovering Faubourg Montmartre as a bustling artery lined with historic boutiques and restaurants, linking the lively Grands Boulevards and hip South Pigalle neighbourhoods. Join veteran Paris writer Jeffrey T Iverson on a virtual tour of a Parisian walkway with a heady mix of history and gastronomy, boasting Belle Époque brasseries and bonbons galore.
