Things to remember:
[As Boulevard (from Dutch bollwerc) is referred to in France originally a wide ring road, following the dismantling of an urban Wall fortification on the same area. In the city of Paris, there were until the 19th Century only narrow alleys as in the Middle Ages, the hygienic and traffic was questionable. The term was in the 19th Century glory for the wide streets, which Baron Haussmann in Paris created. New industries and cultural institutions have relocated as a sign of modernity. Thus along the "Boulevard du Temple" arose in Paris, for example, buildings for popular theatrical forms.]
