Parcours des femmes illustres

The Parcours des femmes illustres consists of a series of plaques embedded in the sidewalks throughout the eighteenth arrondissement, each marking a location where a notable woman lived or worked. Instead of a single monument, the project traces the lives of figures like the singer Damia, who performed in Montmartre, and the painter Suzanne Valadon. These markers create a map of history beneath the feet of passersby, highlighting women whose contributions often went unrecorded in the standard guidebooks of the neighborhood.
