The smallest house in Paris is said
to be situated in the curious Rue de La
Bucherie, which formerly was devoted
to the sale of firewood and wooden
buoys. The house in question is No.

little place is only one story. and con-

of these was for a long time the studio
of the celebrated painter. Gustave
Courbet, and there he is supposed to
have painted some of his principal
