Rue Lepic
Street in Paris, France
Rue Lepic is a street in the former commune of Montmartre, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, climbing the hill of Montmartre from the Boulevard de Clichy to Place Jean-Baptiste-Clément.
It is an ancient road resulting of the rectification and re-arrangement of several dirt-roads leading to the Blanche barrier (Place Blanche), starting life as the Chemin-neuf (the Chemin-vieux was the Rue de Ravignan). In 1852 it was renamed Rue de l'Empereur, before it was renamed again in 1864, after General Louis Lepic (1765–1827).
