Louvre

The Last Duel

Louvre appears in the book’s account of the Carrouges–Le Gris case as a location within the Paris setting, but not as the scene of a fully narrated episode. The available references connect it most concretely to research on the men’s lodgings and distinguish it from the other Parisian sites where the legal proceedings unfolded.

Location References

A source note concerning Jean de Carrouges’s and Jacques Le Gris’s lodgings lists the Rue du Louvre among the Paris street locations consulted. It does not specify which man lodged on that street, or establish that either man stayed at the Louvre palace itself. The evidence therefore places the Louvre name in the city’s geography without supporting a more exact identification of either lodging.

The book’s index lists four references to the Louvre. That recurrence indicates that the place is mentioned at several points in the larger account, but the supplied passages do not identify those episodes or describe the site’s appearance, use, or history.

Paris and the Proceedings

The case expands from a dispute before Count Pierre of Alençon into a matter heard by the Parlement of Paris. The account names the men’s lodgings in Paris as they prepare testimony, and records a separate confrontation at the Château de Vincennes, where Adam Louvel is challenged before the king. These references establish a wider urban and royal setting for the case, but none locates a hearing or confrontation at the Louvre.

The source note’s reference to the Rue du Louvre is thus the clearest specific connection between the Louvre and the litigation in the available evidence. It should not be conflated with the great hall of Count Pierre’s palace, where the earlier seigneurial hearing took place, or with the royal fortress at Vincennes, where Thomin du Bois challenged Louvel.
