re. the house where Bob was born: you have misunderstood the information that you found on my website (The Cine-Tourist): the house is on the rue Gustave Mesureur, and the countershot is on the rue Georges Lardennois, some distance away.

Thank you for the correction, Roland-François!
DeleteRegarding the picture 'Anne comes out of the hotel where she spent the night' : the scene has been taken rue Gustave Mesureur which was close to the rue Jenner, Paris XIII, location of the film studios of JP Melville. This Street does no more exist.
