The Boulevard Marguerite-de-Rochechouart is a street in
Paris, France, situated at the foot of
Montmartre and to its south. Like the neighbouring street, it is named after Marguerite de Rochechouart de Montpipeau (1665–1727), abbess of Montmartre. It is a result of the 1864 merging of the boulevards and chemins de ronde which followed the interior and exterior of the
Wall of the Farmers-General. It has also been known as the boulevard des Poissonniers, chemin de ronde de Poissonnière and chemin de ronde de Rochechouart. It is served by the
Paris Metro stations
Pigalle,
Anvers and
Barbès – Rochechouart.
