The Boulevard du Temple is a broad Parisian avenue that separates the third and eleventh arrondissements. It is famous for a nineteenth-century nickname: the Boulevard of Crime. This title did not come from any real-life violence on the street, but from the relentless succession of murder-filled melodramas performed at the many theaters that once lined its sidewalks. Thousands of spectators gathered here nightly to watch these stage crimes, making it one of the most popular and fashionable destinations in the city.
