Berlioz in Paris
19
rue Boursault
(now 53
rue La Bruyère)
Berlioz moved to this address in ca. August 1849, while Harriet Smithson left rue Blanche for a small house in Montmartre. Berlioz lived here for 8 years until April 1856, when rising prices forced him to seek new accommodation (17 rue de Vintimille, then permanently 4 rue de Calais).
