Field notes
The account describes a four-storey street building and a sloping passage leading to brick-and-timber ateliers, with a second small courtyard behind the rear building. Its chronology includes Manet, Eugène Pottier, and the Cabaret du Néant; the site says Pottier completed work there in which the text of “L’Internationale” first appeared. The page also places the address among other artist-associated buildings on the boulevard.
