230 rue Marcadet Paris.

The Paris residence shared by Messiaen and Loriod from 1961 to Yvonne Loriod-Messiaen's death in 2010.

Loriod had a small studio apartment in this block and over the years the Messiaens expanded purchasing other apartments within the block.It overlooks a small park with a band stand bearing a remarkable resemblance to the jardin de ville in Grenoble where, as a young boy Messiaen enjoyed studying musical scores.
