Richard H.F. Neave, President Royal British Legion Paris branch, member Paris-based Libre Résistance SOE “F” Section and author of SOE: A Life in the Shadows“Another outstanding, well-researched, and presented book by Stew Ross. It gives a detailed guided walking tour full of facts about the activities of the Gestapo during their occupation of Paris during World War II. I highly recommend this book to everyone who has an interest in what life was like during the Nazi occupation in France.”
Jane Gabin, Amazon customerLavishly illustrated, gripping guide to the Paris that existed under Nazi rule.
This is a fantastic new book that provides extensive information for both those planning a trip and for armchair historians. While there are are walks that take you past famous places made infamous by Nazi rule, there is also a lot of detailed information. Stew Ross provides details about many topics that are not necessarily popular, including anti-semitism and collaboration. Photos add poignancy. Paris is haunted by its past, and these pages show you exactly why. The days of the Occupation and the Resistance are not that distant.

Is this the same address where during WWII a doctor lived who was a serial murderer? It looks like it has been remodeled compared to its appearance then.
Yes. The original building has been demolished in the post-war era. Doctor Petiot’s plate can be seen at the Prefecture de police’s Criminology Museum in Paris.
Henry is correct. The original building was demolished in the 1950s. Petiot and his family lived in another building located on Rue Caumartin. His medical office was in that building and the plate was attached next to the entrance door. STEW
Yes, it is. Original building has been demolished in the post-war years. Doctor Petiot’s orginal plate can be seen at the Prefecture de Police Criminology Museum in Paris.
