Below are links to spots in my 2001 Paris diary with photos of Sarah Bernhardt landmarks.

Or visit here for just the addresses and photos.

 

Approximate location of one of Sarah Bernhardt's former residences: the rue Auber apartment with a blvd Haussman back entry by which she saved her son and the mother she adopted from a fire. (From 1868 until it caught fire.)

65 rue du Provence where four-year-old Sarah Bernhardt had been abandoned by her biological mother. (And where she jumped out of a high window to escape her situation and get her Aunt Rosine to take her, now-injured, back to her less-than-pleased courtesan mother who didn’t seem to intend to ever fetch her back from the maid.)

Père Lachaise cemetery: Sarah Bernhardt, area 44.

Sarah Bernhardt’s artist studio at 11 blvd de Clichy.

Sarah Bernhardt’s last residence at 56 blvd Péreire (from 1886 until her death in 1923, and her home from 1878 to 1886 at #35 rue Fortuny.

265 rue Saint-Honoré where Bernhardt was returned to her well-off courtesan mother, Judith "Youle" Van Hard, after Aunt Rosine had been forced to bring the injured four-year-old home.

Sarah's old haunt -- the Comedie Français...

The Odéon Théâtre which Sarah Bernhardt turned into a hospital during the Franco-Prussian War’s 1870 Siege of Paris.  Sarah also served as a nurse in her make-shift hospital.

The purported Sarah birthplace that Paris places its plaque on, 5 rue de l'Ecole-de-Medicine...

The Sarah Bernhardt Café at place Châtelet, next door to the Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt

__ rue Duphot -- pregnant, unwed, thrown out by courtesan mother (1864)
__ rue de Rome -- c. 1870 - c. 1878
56 boulevard Péreire -- from 1886 until her death in 1923.

The funeral took place at Eglise Saint-Francois-de-Sales.

Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt
2, place du Châtelet, 75004 Paris 42 74 22 77 Mo&RER=Châtelet

In this theatre, from 1899 to 1915, Sarah appeared in forty different roles, twenty-five of them roles she originated. The theatre was originally the Théâtre des Nations. During WWII occupation, the Nazis changed the name back when they learned Bernhardt was half-Jewish. It is now, again, Théâtre Sarah Bernhardt/de la Ville.
