Place de Clichy 30/10/2023 21h03
Place de Clichy at night as seen from the Boulevard de Clichy. Four arrondissements get together here (17, 18, 8 and 9) and the monument of Maréchal Moncey standing proudly in the middle of the always busy square.
Place de Clichy
The Place de Clichy, also known as "Place Clichy", is situated in the northwestern quadrant of Paris. It is formed by the intersection of the Boulevard de Clichy, the Avenue Clichy, the Rue Clichy, the Boulevard des Batignolles, and the Rue d'Amsterdam.
It lies at the former site of the barrière de Clichy, an ancient portal in the Wall of the Farmers-General, leading to the village of Clichy, outside the wall.
The Place de Clichy is one of the few places in Paris where four arrondissements (the 8th, 9th, 17th, and 18th) meet at a single point. (The others are the Pont Saint-Michel, where the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th meet, and the Belleville roundabout, where the 10th, 11th, 19th and 20th come together.).
The Place de Clichy is also unusual in that it has been untouched by urban planners. This explains the heterogeneous façades of the buildings in the area. The Place de Clichy has the character of a substantial crossroads, rather than that of a real place (public square).
Surrounding the Place de Clichy is a lively array of shops, restaurants, and businesses, including a popular cinema. It is a hive of activity, both day and night.
In March 1814, at the close of the First French Empire, 800,000 soldiers of various foreign armies marched on Paris. After breaking through the barriers at Belleville and Pantin, they took the hill of Montmartre. Paris was protected in the north from Clichy to Neuilly, by 70,000 men of the garde nationale. In the face of the advancing enemy, the Maréchal de Moncey defended the barrière de Clichy. Moncey amassed 15,000 volunteers, tirailleurs — students from the École polytechnique and the École vétérinaire — and, despite their inexperience, valiantly resisted the Russian contingent until an armistice was declared on 30 March 1814.
A six-metre-tall bronze statue, executed by Amédée Doublemard and dedicated to de Moncey, stands on an ornate pedestal eight metres tall.

I knew this one was re-activated when I was in Paris but I was forgotten to investigate the exact location of this classic sized invader. When I was sitting in bus 30 I saw this one reflecting in the window of the bus I got off the bus and ran back to this location in the middle of the busy square and I was lucky to catch this one 5 minutes before the rays of the evening sun were gone. Never seen the original of this one before.

It's all Clichy here; standing on the Place de Clichy, Rue de Clichy is on the right and Boulevard de Clichy straight ahead at the left.

Paul Signac (1863-1935) was a French Neo-Impressionist painter. Together with Georges Seurat, Signac developed the Pointillism style. He was a passionate sailor, bringing back watercolor sketches of ports and nature from his travels, then turning them into large studio canvases with mosaic-like squares of color. He abandoned the short brushstrokes and intuitive dabs of color of the impressionists for a more exact scientific approach to applying dots with the intention to combine and blend not on the canvas, but in the viewer's eye. We have digitally enhanced some of his landscapes and seascapes, both from sketches and paintings into high resolution quality. They are free to download and use under the CC0 license.

When in Paris, and having a great urge for a bout of pool or billiards, this is the nec plus ultra. The inside is even more amazing, but the nice people at the door make it very clear that people with cameras, tripods and the like do better to take their activities elsewhere. In that case, better leave your camera at a locker in St. Lazare (if they still exist) and play a round or two, it's quite unlike any other pool place you might ever have been in.

For the first time I used the upper-deck of a l'Open Tour 'hop on - hop off bus' to see the city of Paris in a different perspective.
One of the few places where 4 arrondissement are getting together seen from a higher point of view than normal.

Soon this intersection will be redesigned and adapted to the new needs of today. This all together with the Boulevard de Batignoles and Avenue de Clichy.
