BREWERS STREET
Go there and contact
This street, which used to be notorious, is the place of the last meeting between Verlaine and Rimbaud, which ends with a gunshot.
Before 1873, nobody wanted to go to the rue des Brasseurs, except the Brussels market gardeners who used it as a toilet, hence the pejorative names of "dirty alley" or "Pistrotje". Since then, this street has been the symbol of a historical "drama". It is here that Verlaine shot Rimbaud following his decision to return to Paris and end their relationship. Verlaine was sentenced to two years in prison. A plaque in memory of this event can be seen at this very place, symbolic place of their last meeting and of the literary history.
