Promenade Coccinelle, Esplanade in Saint-Georges and Clignancourt, Paris, France.
Promenade Coccinelle is a pedestrian walkway running along the central median of Boulevard de Clichy in the 18th district. The esplanade stretches as a linear green and paved space with seating areas positioned above the busy street below.
The site opened in 2017 to honor someone who became the first French celebrity to legally change gender in 1958. The naming marked a public turning point in recognizing this chapter of French history.
The promenade honors a significant figure in French gender identity history and sits near the historic Pigalle entertainment quarter. Visitors can see today how this space has become woven into the neighborhood and draws people connected to this story.
Access to the promenade is available at multiple points along Boulevard de Clichy, with Pigalle metro station right nearby. The walkway is level and easy to navigate, making it accessible for a visit at any time of day or year.
The promenade sits alongside the elevated metro line 2 that runs overhead, an uncommon feature for a pedestrian walkway. This blend of transportation infrastructure and walking space creates a distinctive urban layer not often experienced in Paris.
