BOULEVARD SAINT-ÉTIENNE (SZENT ISTVÁN KÖRÚT)

At the end of the 19th century, the Hungarian Diet decided to create a large boulevard that would connect the suburbs of Pest. Each of the roads of the boulevard takes the name of the district it crosses (Teréz körút, Erzsébet körút, József körút, Ferenc körút), except for the boulevard Saint-Etienne. The latter, near the Danube and always very lively, has retained the elegance of the Empire style. At number 14, the Gaîté Theater (Vígszínház) was built at the end of the 19th century.
