No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. John Donne, Meditation XVII, AD1624

It's the 13th - the address is 2 and 2bis, boulevard Vincent Auriol. This comes up as the building at 2-4, boulevard Vincent Auriol. (pic will load now, but not in a few hours.)
This is not a poor part of town - it's not far from the city center, and is located along the Seine.
