Thirteenth Arrondissement CROSSWORD HERE *** In Search of the Alphabet An ideal itinerary would start with a street whose name begins with the letter A, and lead to a street which starts with the letter Z, successively passing all letters of the alphabet. It seems impossible to realise, even if there was a street in Paris which started with the letter Z. We can nevertheless try to approach it partially with these itineraries. One that I propose to you today uses, successively, five streets which begin with the letter A and five streets which begin with the letter B. *** The Stones [Pierres] of Paris There are around forty streets named after figures whose first name is Pierre. Probably everyone knows that Pierre Loti and Pierre Louys are writers, Pierre le Grand [Peter the Great] was Tsar of Russia, Pierre Larousse authored the famous dictionary and Pierre de Coubertin brought-back the Olympic Games. Can you attribute these 15 other Pierres to their respective professions? [Pierres] 1. Pierre Budin 2. Pierre Bullet 3. Pierre Dupont 4. Pierre Foncin 5. Pierre Girard 6. Pierre Guerin 7.
