I have <a href=\"https:\/\/inneskeighren.com\/williammacintosh\/?p=557\">written before<\/a> about the archival evidence that records his address, but it has been interesting to explore the location in person.<\/p>\n<p>The inventory of seized books states that Macintosh was &#8220;domicili\u00e9 en la presente commune pr\u00e8s des murs de la porte St Michel derri\u00e8re la maison de la cidevant Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 dite de Jesus maria et St Bruno&#8221;\u2014i.e., near the gate in the old-town wall beside the\u00a0Chapelle Saint-Michel\u00a0and behind the former Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de J\u00e9sus Marie Joseph et Saint Bruno. Elsewhere it is specified that his address is &#8220;la rue des testons&#8230;n\u00ba 8 et 9&#8221; (i.e., 8 and 9 Rue des 3 Testons).<\/p>\n<p>Rue des 3 Testons is a small street and only one side is fully built up (an undeveloped gap on the other side has recently been converted into a small <a href=\"http:\/\/jardindesmonnaies.blogspot.co.uk\/\">community garden<\/a>). Although the house numbers seem to have changed since the late eighteenth century (unsurprisingly), I strongly suspect that Macintosh lived in one of the buildings photographed above. The map below gives a sense of the overall arrangement.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_583\" style=\"width: 818px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/inneskeighren.com\/williammacintosh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/map.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-583\" class=\"wp-image-583 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/inneskeighren.com\/williammacintosh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/map.png\" alt=\"Map (on an OpenStreetMap base), showing the location of Macintosh's home in Avignon.\" width=\"808\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inneskeighren.com\/williammacintosh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/map.png 808w, https:\/\/inneskeighren.com\/williammacintosh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/map-300x267.png 300w, https:\/\/inneskeighren.com\/williammacintosh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/map-768x684.png 768w, https:\/\/inneskeighren.com\/williammacintosh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/map-624x556.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 808px) 100vw, 808px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Map (on an OpenStreetMap base), showing the location of Macintosh&#8217;s home in Avignon.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I took the opportunity of walking along Rue Baracane, where the building formally occupied by the\u00a0Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 de J\u00e9sus Marie Joseph et Saint Bruno is still standing at number 12 (see below).
