Stendhal in Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône (13)

14 Rue Venture, Marseille.

'EN 1805 ET 1806
STENDHAL
AVANT D'ÉCRIRE
LA CHARTREUSE DE PARME
VEÇUT QUELQUES MOIS
DANS CETTE MAISON'

I suppose it shows how famous Stendhal is to put up a plaque informing viewers that he spent several months living there before creating his masterpiece La Chartreuse de Parme. The implication, I think, it that it was conceived here.
