Rue Henry Miller
A few comments on my post about the Espace Henry Miller in Clichy have lamented that there is no street in Paris named after Henry Miller. Well, after a bit of searching, I discovered that there is such a street after all. Though not properly in Paris, rue Henry Miller can be found nearby in the suburb of Créteil, nested amid a warren of residential streets named for American authors. Rue Ernest Hemingway traces the main artery of the neighborhood, which branches off into streets bearing the names of Henry Miller, John Steinbeck, Jack London, Tennessee Williams, Pearl Buck and William Faulkner. There are several other cul-de-sacs in the neighborhood which Google Maps has left unnamed.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a photograph of rue Henry Miller or its street sign. The image at the top of this post is just something I cobbled together in Photoshop. If anyone can provide such a photo it would be much appreciated.
Update: for the Nin fans in the audience, You’ll find the rue Anaïs Nin in the town of Castanet-Tolosan, just outside of Toulouse.

My husband’s family were relatives of Anais (Nin-Guell) on the Guell’s side from Barcelona.
Cuban painter, Miguel Nin, who lives in Miami Beach, is also a relative of Anais.
Thank you for your site, it’s wonderful. I found it while doing research.
