The "Grands Boulevards" are undoubtedly one of the symbols of Parisian life. "I like to stroll on the boulevards" there are "so many things, so much to see ... "says a French song, Yves Montand, which sums up wonderfully, in a few words, the spirit of the walker pacing these broad lanes lined with trees. The Grands Boulevards originally follow the layout of the buildings built in the 14th century to defend the city. Four hundred years later, under the reign of Louis XIV, vast pavements are created that will become over time great centers of attraction. The theaters are so numerous and so popular that a theatrical genre is born there, called boulevard theater ; EN 1895, the first cinematographic screening takes place boulevard des Capucines, the big cafes that are installed here become the meeting places for men of wit, writers and poets ... this is where, a stone's throw from the Madeleine church, rue Basse-du-Rempart, that Thierry Hermès opened in 1837 his harness and saddle factory. In a delicate line, Virginie Jamin mixes the Paris of yesterday and today, horse and carriages, women in walking outfit and young women in miniskirts, Gentlemen and skaters rub shoulders as if time did not exist. Because to stroll, it's good to forget it.
versatile and mixed, it can be the subject of a superb gift. the composition tag has been removed.
