The Place de Clichy is also unusual in that it has been untouched by urban planners.

Surrounding the Place de Clichy is a lively array of shops, restaurants, and businesses, including a popular cinema.

Paris was protected in the north from Clichy to Neuilly, by 70,000 men of the garde nationale.

A six-metre-tall bronze statue, executed by Amédée Donatien Doublemard and dedicated to de Moncey, stands on an ornate pedestal eight metres tall.

Served by the Place de Clichy Métro station, the area is accessible by lines 2 and 13.
