Jacques Pr\u00e9vert, resistant to the idea of becoming sedentary, has lived as a nomad for a long time, in furnished flats or hotels, in Paris, Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Antibes. In 1995, with his wife Janine and his daughter Mich\u00e8le, known as Minette, he moves in to the 6 bis Cit\u00e9 V\u00e9ron, a small cobbled dead-end running along boulevard de Clichy, indicated by a beautiful enamelled sign. He stays there until 1975, date in which he definitely settles down to Omonville-la-Petite, in Contentin, up to his death in 1977.<\/p>\n
The flat of cite V\u00e9ron opens on a terrace which the Pr\u00e9vert share with Boris and Ursula Vian, behind the sails of the Moulin Rouge. Jacques Pr\u00e9vert has the inside of the flat completely renewed. On Alexandre Trauner\u2019s advice, a set designer and close friend, he resorts to the architect Jacques Cou\u00eblle, renowned for his houses in the organic and sculptural forms which evoke the post-war \u201carchitecture-sculpture\u201d movement. Assisted by his son, Savin Cou\u00eblle, then studying architecture in Paris and, one very likely says, assisting Alexandre Trauner, Jacques Cou\u00eblle invents in the middle of Paris an uncluttered space with curved angles, white walls and Provencal red floor-tiles.<\/p>\n
” The place was only a concrete structure. I created everything on the spot. The workers, I had found them in the pub downstairs. The plaster of the walls was strengthened by the hair recovered under the armchairs of the Moulin Rouge, then abandoned. I fetched the water for the construction in the neighbour\u2019s flat, Boris Vian and Ursula K\u00fcbler.\u00a0For the sad terrace which is the roof of the Moulin Rouge, I brought six enormous bathtubs with feet of lions to plant lilac. Jacques and Janine were very happy in this flat. ” Savin Cou\u00eblle, son of Jacques Cou\u00eblle<\/p>\n
The terrace served as a place of reception to some of the most beautiful demonstrations of the famous Middle school of ‘Pataphysics, ” society of clever and useless researches ” created in 1948. And so Boris Vian, Jacques Pr\u00e9vert and Erg\u00e9, his Briard sheepdog, members of the \u201cCorps des Satrapes\u201d – the most famous and the most closed of the Middle school of ‘Pataphysics bodies – founded the \u00abTerrasse des Trois Satrapes\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
