In the literature

In the second episode of the novel L'Envers de l'histoire contemporaine by Honoré de Balzac , Godefroi was sent by the Société des Frères de la consolation in 1839 to a house on Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, facing Boulevard du Montparnasse runs where Monsieur Bernard's family lives:

"Arrive rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, dans la partie aboutissant à la rue de l'Ouest (today: Rue d'Assas ), qui, ni l'une ni l'autre, n'étaient encore pavées à cette époque , il fut surpris de trouver de tels bourbiers dans un endroit si magnifique. On ne marchait alors que le long des enceintes en planches qui bordaient des jardins marécageux, ou le long des maisons, par d'étroits sentiers bientôt gagnés par des eaux stagnantes, qui les convertissaient en ruisseaux. »

- When he got to the rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, in the part that leads to the rue de l'Ouest, which were both unpaved at the time, he was surprised to find such swamps in such a beautiful place. They only walked along the wooden fencing that lined the swampy gardens, or along the houses, on narrow paths that were soon swallowed up by stagnant water that turned them into streams.

In The King in Yellow (1895) by Robert W. Chambers one of the short stories begins with the title La Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs :

“La rue n'est pas élégante, pas plus qu'elle n'est misérable. C'est une paria parmi les rues - une rue sans quartier .... »

- The street is neither elegant nor miserable. She is an outcast among the streets - a street without neighborhood ...
