Step 1: The birthplace of Arthur Rimbaud.
I suggest you head to your right and walk the 210 feet separating you from 12 rue Pierre Bérégovoy, which was then called rue Napoléon.
In front of you is the house where Arthur Rimbaud was born on October 20, 1854.
Above the two windows of the first floor, you can notice a marble plaque bearing the inscription: "Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud poet and explorer was born in this house on October 20, 1854".
