Comment

Located on the corner of the eponymous rue Monge and rue Monge, where a certain Guyon opened a ball in the early 1920s. After two years of operation, Madame Alinc took over the business for six years. In 1929, the young Hamon took over the café-bal and renamed it Bal du Petit Monge. Each of these owners left their mark with tokens bearing their name.
