Promenade Coccinelle, Esplanade in Saint-Georges and Clignancourt, Paris, France.

The Promenade Coccinelle extends from 2 to 16 Boulevard de Clichy, offering a pedestrian walkway on the central median of the boulevard.

Inaugurated on May 18, 2017, this esplanade commemorates Jacqueline Charlotte Dufresnoy, known as Coccinelle, the first French celebrity to legally change gender in 1958.

The promenade represents Paris's commitment to recognizing LGBTQ+ figures through public spaces, located near the historic Pigalle entertainment district.

The esplanade connects to Paris public transportation through Pigalle metro station, serving lines 2 and 12, with multiple entry points along Boulevard de Clichy.

The walkway integrates with the elevated metro line 2 infrastructure, creating a connection between urban mobility and pedestrian spaces in northern Paris.
