Place Blanche in Paris, France is one of the small plazas along the Boulevard de Clichy, which runs between the 9th arrondissement and 18th arrondissements (Parisian districts) and leads into Montmartre.

During the Paris Commune of Spring 1871, this was one of the countless areas where barricades were erected by the Communards to repel Adolphe Thiers‘s Versailles troops as they pressed westwards to retake the capital.

The famous cabaret  Moulin Rouge stands on the Place Blanche. (Text Source: Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia)
