Field of the Lark

Historical Location: The Champ de l'Alouette was a real field off the rue de la Glacière

Modern Location: Rue de la Glacière, rue Corvisart, rue du Champ de l'Alouette

Metro stop: Glacière

Notes: There are no remains of a field in this area, but the streets are mostly the same with some name-shuffling: the 19th century rue du Champ de l'Alouette is now the rue Corvisart, and the present-day rue du Champ de l'Alouette was the rue du Petit-Champ back in the day. (Also, to avoid complete disorientation, keep in mind that you will emerge from the Metro stop facing the wrong way on the boulevard; do an about-face and turn left onto the rue de la Glacière.)
