Berlioz in Paris
43 and 65 rue Blanche
Berlioz’s marriage with Harriet was in serious trouble by the
early 1840s. In 1844 Berlioz moved in
with Marie Recio (who later became his
second wife) to her flat at 41 rue de Provence. He stayed there until April 1848. Harriet
on her side moved to 43 rue Blanche, which remained Berlioz’s legal domicile. She later
on moved to no. 65 on the same road and lived there until 1848, after which she
moved to Montmartre.
