The Belvédère de la Bohème opened in Montmartre
On the occasion of Charles Aznavour’s birthday, the Aznavour Foundation is proud to announce the inauguration of the Belvédère de la Bohème in Montmartre — a new public space dedicated to celebrating the legacy of one of France’s most iconic musical and cultural figures.
The ceremony took place on May 22, at the intersection of Rue Saint-Vincent and Rue de la Bonne in Paris’s 18th arrondissement, in the presence of the Ambassador of Armenia to France, Arman Khachatryan; the Deputy Mayors of Paris, Carine Rolland and Laurence Patrice; the Mayor of the 18th arrondissement of Paris, Éric Lejoindre; Charles Aznavour’s son, Mischa Aznavour; and other guests.
Named after one of Aznavour’s most beloved songs, the Belvédère de la Bohème overlooks Montmartre — an emblematic neighborhood long associated with artists, poets, and dreamers. This site pays tribute to the spirit of youth, creativity, and resilience that Charles Aznavour so powerfully captured throughout his career.
This tribute follows the recent renaming of a section of the Champs-Élysées gardens as the Jardin Charles Aznavour, located near the Jardin d’Erevan, the Esplanade d’Arménie, and the Komitas statue — all commemorating Aznavour’s deep connection to both France and Armenia.
