The boulevard Poniatowski establishes itself inside the former city wall of Thiers, one of the reasons allowing the creation of a way at this scale. The quality of the boulevard Poniatowski lies in its clarity: alignment of the building, large and wooded sidewalk linked with commercials ground floors allowing a direct connection between the public and private space, between solid and void. An urban continuity emanating from guidelines of classic urbanism widely resumed by Haussmann which made and is still making the quality of a city like Paris.
