The Rue des Archives is a street in The Marais at the border of 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris, France. [1]

In the novel Ferragus: Chief of the Devorants, by Honoré de Balzac, the widow Gruget lives at No 12 in the "Rue des Enfants-Rouges". This is where Jules Desmarets listens to the conversation between his wife (Clémence Desmarets) and Ferragus XXIII. [8]
