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 no. 12, Rue Saint-Vincent in Montmartre.
