A view of the original Boulevards of Paris at the southwest corner of Lexington and University.

The Boulevards of Paris featured fine European dining and had a decor to match Parisian restaurants.

The Boulevards of Paris had a famous dance floor and was the host of many famous musicians.

The photos of the Boulevards of Paris are through the generosity of Marie McMahon, the granddaughter of John Lane, one of the original owners of the Boulevards of Paris.
