Individual evidence

↑ The Heine letter in the doll; The original correspondence of the poet was in the possession of Anna Seghers ( Memento from June 22, 2007 in the Internet Archive )

Note: At that time, the end of the Rue de Passy coincided with the beginning of the Rue de la Pompe, because the Avenue Paul Doumer , which now runs between the two streets, was just the beginning at the beginning of the 20th century. The house described was probably northwest of this vertex and therefore only a few meters south of the house that is now number 1 on Rue de la Pompe . The traffic on Avenue Paul Doumer now flows through this point . The house can hardly have been located south of the confluence of the streets because the Rue de la Pompe no longer exists there (its southern "extension" is the Rue de Boulainvilliers ) and a location northeast of the intersection is unlikely because according to the other Description of Daphne du Maurier was located behind the back garden of the Bois de Boulogne, which is west of the Rue de la Pompe. The private road that she also mentioned , which lay between the garden and the forest, was likely to have corresponded to the Chaussée de la Muette leading to the west , which at the time was still a private road with an iron entrance gate in the immediate vicinity of the Rue de la as an "extension" of the Rue de Passy Pompe was.
