place de clichy

Place de Clichy is a busy crossroads in Paris distinguished by the towering bronze monument to Marshal Moncey at its center. This square sits at the precise meeting point of four city districts—the eighth, ninth, seventeenth, and eighteenth arrondissements. It occupies the site of the former barrier of Clichy, an old gateway in the eighteenth-century Wall of the Farmers-General that once marked the boundary of Paris.
