Saint-Honoré, Rue There was no one at Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, and the big double bed had gone to the country. M spent the night in a hotel on the Rue Saint-Honoré. [1933-ECL] Mme M said there was no point looking in the Rue de la Paix, Rue Saint-Honoré or Avenue Matignon, since they'd have been too expensive and didn't show hats in their windows. [1949-MME] M found a pair of glacé kid men's slippers, made to measure by a boot-maker in the Rue Saint-Honoré, one of the most exclusive in Paris.

[1947-MOR] Neveu called M from a bistro the Boulevard Saint-Martin, to say a man had been found stabbed to death in a blind alley.... M remembered how, at the age of 20, he had first arrived in Paris, disturbed at the ferment.

[1952-REV] The previous night, as The Two Brothers was drawing away from the dock at La Villette, headed for the Saint-Martin Canal, they had churned up a lot of mud... There was nothing remarkable in the discovery of a corpse in the Saint-Martin Canal.

True enough, hardly a week passed without a corpse being found in the canal... [1956-AMU] The other barge belonged to Jef Van Cauwelaert and his brother, called Twee Gebroeders, Two Brothers.

One day, when M was walking down the Boulevard Saint-Michel, he heard someone running after him, and it was Félix Jubert, who'd been in medical school with him at Nantes.

Somewhere behind the houses could be heard the deadened noise of cars on the Boulevard Saint-Michel.... Françoise Boursicault had been an assistant in a men's shop on Boulevard Saint-Michel.

Saint-Michel, Pont At Pont Saint-Michel, M thought of taking a taxi to Cécile Pardon's, but decided on the streetcar.

[1941-SIG] M looked out the window, where on the other bank of the Seine, where the Quai des Grands-Augustins formed an approach ramp to the Pont Saint-Michel, he could see the narrow front of a homely bistro, into which he'd occasionally gone for a glass of wine. [1947-MOR] From the Pont Saint-Michel M could see the light in his own office. [1949-MME] At 9:00 sharp a bell summons the various heads of sections to the Chief's big office, whose windows overlook the Seine. Each tells what's been happening.

[1952-BAN] As on every morning, at about 9:15 in the office of the Director of the Police Judiciaire, there was the department heads meeting. The windows looked out on a dirty-colored Seine, and the Pont Saint-Michel was windswept.

[1955-TEN] People on the Pont Saint-Michel were leaning backwards as they walked.

At Châtelet Gaston Meurant had a third cognac, again in one gulp, and finally the Quai des Orfèvres. He walked on as far as the Pont Saint-Michel, then came back and entered. [1959-ASS] The car sped towards the Pont Saint-Michel and turned right along the embankment. [1960-VIE] M muttered to himself as he crossed the Pont Saint-Michel. [1961-PAR] Normally he would have turned left along the Quai in the direction of the Pont Saint-Michel, to take a bus or a taxi. [1962-COL] M went to the window, watched the passers-by on the Pont Saint-Michel, and a tug in the Seine, a big clover-leaf marking on its funnel. [1966-VOL] Cars and buses could be heard rumbling across the Pont Saint-Michel, and from time to time a tug sounded its siren before lowering its funnel to pass under the bridge.

[1969-TUE] M had decided against stopping at the Brasserie Dauphine and was on his way home when Léontine Antoine came up to him.

Saint-Mondé Saint-Nazaire Saint-Nicolas, Quai Saint-Ouen Six months before the Paris CID [Criminal Investigation Department] had discovered a "passport facotry" in Saint-Ouen. A mistake on the sixth page - forehead before hair instead of after - showed that Louis Jeunet's passport was a fake. [1930-31-PHO] The misery of the poor quarters of Paris, of the little bistros around the Porte d'Italie or Saint-Ouen, the filthy wretchedness of the Zone and the more decent wretchedness of Montmartre or Père-Lachaise were all familiar to him. The bottom-line misery of the piers, too, of Place Maubert or the Salvation Army. [1949-CHE] Torrence called from Saint-Ouen, to say he'd found the driver who'd picked up Loraine Martin at the juncture of the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir and the Boulevard Voltaire, and had dropped her at Rue de Maubeuge, where it passes the Gare du Nord, in front of a luggage shop.

Sancerre M received a telegram from Nevers that Émile Gallet, commercial traveler from Saint-Fargeau, Seine-et-Marne, had been murdered the night of the 25th-26th in the Hôtel de la Loire, Sancerre.... Éléonore Boursang, Henri Gallet's mistress, had been on holiday staying at the Pension Germain boarding house on the road from Sancerre to Saint-Thibaut. [1930-GAL] M asked if the wine was from Sancerre. The proprieter (Aline Calas) replied that it was from a little village near Poitiers, which accounted for the slight flinty tang. She said her husband had gone there to get more, didn't answer when asked where she was from. [1955-COR] Fernand Barillard offered M some Sancerre wine. [1965-PAT] M noticed a bistro on a little side street leading to the Quai, with a pleasantly old-fashioned air. The patron said his wine came from Sancerre, where he was from.

[1947-MOR] Georges Simenon said that while M had been working for the Rue des Saussaies, not the Quai des Orfèvres at the time of [The Late Monsieur Gallet] [GAL], it wasn't necessary to bother the reader with such details.... M admitted that the Rue des Saussaies men, directly answerable to the Ministry of the Interior, are led more or less inevitably to deal with political problems. [1950-MEM] M had no right to operate around Maisons-Lafitte, which was outside his jurisdiction. He should have referred the case to the Rue des Saussaies, who would have sent the men of the Sûreté, or he'd have had to call in the police of Seine-et-Oise.

Mrs. Kirby and Edna Reichberg were listening to a young Scandinavian who was telling an amusing story. [1930-31-TET] Some traces had been found of a fishy substance used as sardine bait on the northern coast of Norway. Was he a Scandinavian? [1932-POR] The man Janvier had followed, [Stephan Strevzki], and whom they'd follow for the next 5 days, looked like a Scandinavian or a Slav. [1939-hom] Elias Hansen of the Southern Pacific, whose job was to investigate accidents, took the stand. He was certainly of Scandinavian origin. [1949-CHE] Victor Lamotte was a winegrower, exporting mainly to Germany and Scandinavian countries. [1968-ENF] The Scandinavian furniture in Antoine Batille's room was harmonious.

Scotland Scotland Yard A telegram from the Belgian police said that Isaac Goldberg was suspected of dealing in stolen jewels, and his trip to France coincided with a jewel robbery in London. They were awaiting a further report from Scotland Yard. [1931-NUI] Mme M had long wanted to see England. M said he could look up his colleagues at Scotland Yard he'd worked with during the war during their two weeks in London. [1937-38-man] Scotland Yard called with the information that the Commodore had not been seen in London for two years. But he had been in Holland, so M contacted Amsterdam, and was waiting for information from the Netherlands Police. [1946-mal] Lapointe, who spoke English, was calling Scotland Yard to check on the Countess Panetti. Some else was checking with the Italians. [1949-MME] Home base for Inspector Pyke, who was sent to observe M's methods. [1949-AMI] Hadn't M acted the same way when Inspector Pyke of Scotland Yard had come to visit France two years earlier? Had he often left Pyke at some terrace café, just like a checked umbrella? South Carolina. Just as it happens in cowboy films, M had actually been made a Deputy Sheriff of Tucson. It was the 9th or 10th time. He'd also been made one in 8 or 9 counties of New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina or South Carolina, Texas, and the city of New Orleans. [1949-CHE] M called Scotland Yard before leaving for London. Though he didn't reach Inspector Pyke, who he had entertained in France, at that hour, his message was relayed to him. [1952-REV] A sergeant from the Yard had arrived, looking embarrassed. [1956-ECH] At least once in his career M had been forced to work in front of a witness who followed his every move. A certain Inspector Pyke, from Scotland Yard, had obtained permission to follow one of M's cases, and seldom in his life had M felt so awkward. [1958-TEM] M called Scotland Yard to check with Inspector Pyke, who'd become Chief Inspector Pyke. They'd met in France when Pyke had come to study M's methods. They'd met twice more after that in London, and become good friends. He'd heard of his promotion several months earlier....

Sébastopol Sébastopol, Boulevard Charles Dandurand had been spotted loitering near the Porte Saint-Martin, Boulevard Sébastopol, and the Bastille. [1940-CEC] The Prisunic where Francine Tremblet had worked was on the Rue Réuamur, just before the Boulevard Sébastopol, on the left. [1946-pau] The jacket bore the label of a ready-to-wear shop in the Boulevard Sébastopol. [1947-MOR] Fernande Steuvels had come to Paris as a domestic servant, and been on the streets for several years on the Boulevard Sébastopol. [1949-MME] Loraine Martin had lived in the Rue Pernelle, off the Boulevard Sébastopol before her marriage. [1950-noe] At 20 Fred Alfonsi had done his military service in the Batallions d'Afrique, since at that time he lived off a prostitute on Boulevard Sébastopol, and had already been arrested twice for assault and battery. [1950-PIC] Julien Foucrier and Françoise Boursicault used to meet in a café on the Boulevard Sébastopol when her husband was at sea.

[1951-GRA] Monique Thouret's boyfriend, Albert Jorisse, was a salesman in a big bookshop on Boulevard Saint-Michel. Known each other about 4 months and met everyday at the same restaurant on Boulevard Sébastopol. [1952-BAN] Priollet had said it was a skivvy who'd started picking up men along the Boulevard Sébastopol. A shopkeeper from Béziers had had his pocket picked and he'd given a good enough description to pick up Thérèse in a dancehall in the Rue de Lappe. [1953-ECO] Aline, 22, had started on the sidewalks of the Boulevard Sébastopol at 16, and now resembled an elegant housewife. [1964-DEF] Sébile.

Segré Seine see Maigret enters the Seine (Maigret entre en Seine) by Murielle Wenger The mist over the Seine began to lift.... They got back to the Seine by way of the Place de la Concorde, and then he went along the Seine, all the way to Moulineaux [Issy-les-Moulineaux]. [1930-31-TET] Mist had covered the Seine, the last tug had gone by, carrying green and red lights and towing three barges. [1931-NUI] An almost treacly sunshine oozing through the peaceful streets on the left bank of the Seine. [1931-GUI] 1,000-franc notes had been found floating in the Seine at the Bougival lock the day after Raymond Couchet's murder. [1931-OMB] Machère had received notice that Germaine Piedboeuf's body had been found in the Seine at Huy, about 70 or 75 miles away. [1932-FLA] The lock-gates opened. The steamer glided into a canal nearly as wide as the Seine at Paris. [1932-POR] A bright blue signboard with a picture of a steamboat proclaimed: Au Rendez-Vous des Aigles! Pilotage de la Marne et de la Haute Seine. There was a café on the right.... Émile Ducrau's country house at Samois stood on the Seine, with only the towing path between. [1933-ECL] All the way to the Rue Fontaine M retained a vision of the Seine flowing in a fine blue and gold mist.... The slow-running Seine sparkled with light. [1934-MAI] A branch of the Seine flowed sullenly round the deserted Île de Puteaux, with its thickets and tall poplars and patches of waste ground. [1936-lun] It was easy to picture the banks of the Seine at night, below the lock. [1936-pen] M was too close to the Place des Vosges to take a taxi, so he walked along the Seine. At the fruiters in the Rue des Tournelles he caught sight of Mme M in animated conversation. [1937-38-amo] The inn-keeper said unless the bodies were wedged in the car they'd float as far as the Seine. [1937-38-noy] Michael Ozep said he'd jumped off the Pont d'Austerlitz into the Seine to kill himself, but the police from the River Squad pulled him out. [1937-38-sta] M said if he knew the jurymen of the Seine district, Lucienne Jouffroy would be acquitted. [1937-38-eto] Janvier said his man [Stephan Strevzki] had thrown something into the Seine as they crossed a bridge. [1939-hom] The windows were open onto the Seine, for it was a splendid June.... M asked if Coudray weren't at the edge of the Seine, a little beyond Corbeil. He knew the area vaguely, for a few years ago he was involved with a murder at the lock at La Citanguette.... The Seine, very broad, descended sluggishly between two wooded hills and made a large loop. [1942-men] A few miles from Paris M had diverged from the route along the Seine. At Poissy he'd climbed the hill, and suddenly, surrounded by real fields and orchards, was this little isolated community, Jeanneville Estate.... The dance hall where Félicie spent her Sundays was a wooden building overlooking the Seine. The proprietor was an Indian in a sweater who M recognized [Fernand] - he'd been a fairground wrestler and had gotten into trouble with the police. [1942-FEL] Outside the boundaries of Paris, in the Charenton district, the embankment still bore the name Quai de Bercy. But there were no more trees. Factory chimneys on the other side of the Seine, and on this side warehouses and suburban villas. [1945-pip] Orsenne was not a station, merely a halt where a few trains deigned to stop. Through parkland trees you could see the roofs of a few villas, and beyond them the Seine, broad and majestic. [1945-FAC] There was a slight haze, like shining steam over the Seine, where strings of boats were sailing past. [1946-pau] Michael O'Brien remembered M's office, with the windows looking out over the Seine. [1946-NEW] The cool sound of lapping water came from the nearby Seine, and cars were gliding noiselessly from the Rue Royale towards the Champs-Élysées. The luminous sign of Maxim's glowed red in the night. Place de la Concorde.... M looked out the window, where on the other bank of the Seine, where the Quai des Grands-Augustins formed an approach ramp to the Pont Saint-Michel, he could see the narrow front of a homely bistro, into which he'd occasionally gone for a glass of wine. [1947-MOR] Perhaps they intended to drive him to a more out of the way site, by the banks of the Seine or the Saint-Martin Canal... They stopped at a little riverside inn by the Seine, where Gustave brought them a friture of gudgeon, followed by a coq au vin with beaujolais.... M was in the big Chief's office, the windows open onto the Seine. Tugs, pulling their strings of barges, sounding their hooters before passing under the bridge, lowering their funnels... [1948-PRE] Once a week in summer, once a fortnight in winter, on Monday afternoons, Fernande Steuvals did her laundry on a laundry boat in the Seine, at Place du Vert-Galant, just below Pont-Neuf. [1949-MME] M looked at the Seine through a curtain of rain and thought of the Mediterranean sun. [1949-AMI] Julien Sudre's office was in the Rue Saint-Antoine. He painted on the banks of the Seine on Sundays, and they had a canoe near Corbeil. [1949-DAM] Georges Simenon said he knew quite well that the Police Judiciaire, part of the Paris Police Headquarters, could only operate withing the limits of Paris, and, in certain cases, the Department of the Seine.... Jacquemain walked with him to the Palais de Justice, the Police Judiciaire, and that night, walking up and down the Seine, talked about his job as a police inspector. [1950-MEM] Alfred Jussiaume rode as far as the Seine and threw his bike in. [1951-GRA] As on every morning, at about 9:15 in the office of the Director of the Police Judiciaire, there was the department heads meeting. The windows looked out on a dirty-colored Seine, and the Pont Saint-Michel was windswept. [1953-TRO] A light, goldish-blue haze was drifting up from the Seine. [1953-ECO] During the morning meeting M idly contemplated the Seine and the passers-by on the Pont-Michel. M mentioned to Eugène Benoît that since they were outside of the Seine department he was outside his authority, but he handcuffed him anyway. [1954-MIN] Why had they dumped her [Louise Laboine's] body there when they could just as easily have dumped her in the Seine? [1954-JEU] The Jules Naud brothers had a load to deliver to the Quai de l'Arsenal. It was a couple of miles downstream, between the Bastille and Seine. They'd be there for almost a week unloading. [1955-COR] The taxis and buses on the Pont Saint-Michel were going more slowly than usual... one half expected to see steam rising from the Seine.... Marcel Moncin said he'd given the suit with the cigarette burn to a tramp on the Seine. [1955-TEN] A call came in from the Puteaux Police Station. Roger Gaillardin was dead, had apparently shot himself on the bank of the Seine. [1956-ECH] Had the murderer planned to throw the body in the Seine, or some wood on the outskirts of Paris?... They followed the Seine, in the direction of the forest of Fontainebleau. Shortly after Corbeil, M remembered an inn, at Morsang, where he had stayed during one of his cases. By the edge of the Seine, setting eel-traps, M recognized the inn-keeper.... They sat down on a bench on the Quai de Bercy, set facing away from the Seine, looking towards a townscape of wine warehouses. [1956-AMU] After crossing the bridge they had to go way round before getting back to the Seine, opposite Charenton, because of the one-way streets. On the other side they could see the Halle aux Vins.... M paused for a moment to look out at the cruel grey Seine, the black ants going to and fro across the Pont Saint-Michel. [1958-TEM] M was standing in front of the window, gazing vaguely at the Seine. [1959-ASS] In 25 years the Seine had not changed, neither the boats nor the anglers. [1960-VIE] Aristide Fumel had used to rush to the morgue every time a body was fished out of the Seine.... In Honoré Cuendet's bookcase was a red-bound, battered copy of the Penal Code, which he must have bought from one of the second-hand book dealers along the Seine or up the Boulevard Saint-Michel, a volume of Zola and one of Tolstoy, and a much-tumbed plan of Paris. [1961-PAR] Big Torrence was planted before the window, looking at the boats in the Seine. [1961-BRA] Crossing the iron foot-bridge, they had reached the Île Saint-Louis. Lapointe observed that the Seine was still high, as they had a month of rain.... Jef van Houtte said he'd heard a splash, as if someone were falling into the Seine, and seen two men running towards a red Peugeot 403. [1962-CLO] When Lucas said they'd found Émile Boulay dead he asked, "In Montmartre, in the Seine?"... M called home and asked his wife for the time of the trains to Morsang. It was on the banks of the Seine, a few miles upstream from Corbeil.... M stood looking at the boats gliding along the Seine, the passers-by swarming like ants on the Pont Saint-Michel, as Lucas told him that Jean-Charles Gaillard had hanged himself in his cell. [1962-COL] It was unlikely Marinette Augier could have gone to the sea, but there were plenty of places on the Seine, the Marne or the Oise she could have gone.... Janvier had Lourtie, Jamin and Lagrume out checking the possible places Marinette Augier might be, one in each district, though all were outside of the Seine district... The view from one side of Mirella Jonker's studio was of rooftops stretching as far as Saint-Ouen. On the other side the sails of the Moulin de la Galette, with almost the whole of Paris in the background, the Champs-Élysées, the Seine... [1963-FAN] There was always an angler on the Seine by the Pont au Change. [1965-PAT] The Seine was dark green, full of blocks of ice drifting slowly along the surface of the water.
