Rue Lepic is an ancient road in the commune of Montmartre, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.

History

This ancient road in the commune of Montmartre is the result of rectification and re-arrangement of several dirt-roads leading to the Blanche barrier (Place Blanche). It started life as "Chemin-neuf" (Le "chemin-vieux" was rue de Ravignan). In 1852 it was renamed rue de l"'Empereur", and renamed again in 1864, after the General Louis Lepic (1765-1827).

Rue Lepic climbs the hill of Montmartre from the boulevard de Clichy to the place Jean-Baptiste-Clément

Anecdotes

Painter and engraver Eugène Delâtre lived and worked on rue Lepic. He occupied successively n°92, n°87, n°97, and also at n°102.

On 7 September 1960, Fernand and Jackie Sardou opened their famous cabaret "Chez Fernand Sardou" on the road in place of "cabaret Belzébuth" next to the residence of Utrillo. The cabaret became the preferred haunt of the night-owls, and played to a full house every night. Michel Sardou had his professional début there, firstly as a server.

In the Claude Autant-Lara film, "La traversée de Paris" (1956), "Martin" (played by André Bourvil) et "Grandgil" (played by Jean Gabin) were pictured in this road during the German occupation of France transporting a jointed pig destined for the black market.
