At the last stand turn right and continue to City Hall...

(At n° 130 avenue de Daumesnil)

Memorials to the Dead of World War I and to Jewish children deported during the Occupation.

Climb the stairs that face the monument to the Green Flow,  
which crosses much of eastern Paris...

Then walk down the stairs, cross the street and come upon a former bus depot.

(Now Ground Control at 81 rue Charleroi) 

A scene from the movie Lust for Life about Van Gogh, by Vincent Minelli with Kirk Douglass, was filmed in this street (in 1956).
