Setting 4: Flight of steps, rue Drevet

The streets of Montmartre hold no secrets for Edith. Day and night, she earns her living singing for passers-by and for audiences in the cabarets.

Setting Montmartre is famous for its steep flights of steps flanked by old houses. Linking the Rue des Trois Frères with the Rue Gabrielle is the narrow Rue Drevet, named in honour of the engraver Pierre Drevet (1664-1738), whose portraits included Louis XIV, Louis XV and the Prince de Conti. Many of the streets in Montmartre bear the names of their former owners, such as the Rue Gabrielle or the Rue des Trois Frères.
