Promenade Littéraire #16: Jean Dubuffet, Le Havre, Seine-Maritime (76)

#16, Jean Dubuffet, Rue J-B  Eyriès. In Biographie au pas de course (2001) the painter and writer Dubuffet (1901-1985) mentions his childhood in Le Havre, the family business in the rues Juste Viel and Jean-Baptiste Eyriès. But he appears to have mixed feelings about the town, as noted in a letter to his friend Jacques Berne, a poet from Le Havre.
