 36 Quai des Orfevres. Any fan of French film noir or of detective author Simenon knows the address as the home to the dreaded Police Judiciare, or simply "la PJ" to Simenon's celebrated protagonist, Commissaire Maigret. In one of the novels, an underworld crime figure gives his address as simply "36." Below, Simenon poses by the building.
