“A love story set in the roaring twenties?” you ask, intrigued. Here on Rue du Bal du Comte d’Orgel, that story comes to life. Not a literal ball, mind you, but a tale woven into the very fabric of this street. This street draws its name from a novel, “Le Bal du Comte d’Orgel”. Penned by the young prodigy Raymond Radiguet, it captures the heart of Parisian society in the 1920s. The novel, published posthumously in 1924, unravels a tale of forbidden love. The characters, caught in a web of desire and societal expectations, navigate a world of opulent balls and secret rendezvous. The Rue du Bal du Comte d’Orgel stands as a quiet tribute to Radiguet’s tragic literary masterpiece. His words painted a vivid picture of love and loss against the backdrop of a society on the cusp of change. Even today, the street seems to whisper echoes of their story. A silent testament to the enduring power of love and literature.
