Trivia Corner

Rue Bouterie was situated in the historic Old Port (Vieux-Port) district of Marseille. In January 1943, occupying German forces ordered the systematic demolition of the labyrinthine neighborhood using explosives during the "Rafle de Marseille," erasing streets like Rue Bouterie from the map and making surviving street-level ephemera highly scarce.
