About the author
Born in Paris on December 14, 1815, and dying there on February 10, 1877, Bathild Bouniol was a French writer, poet, and scientific editor. Library and reference sources identify him as Antoine Bathilde Bouniol, though he published under the name Bathild Bouniol.
He wrote across several forms, including poetry, satire, fiction, and historical or biographical prose. Among his notable works is Les rues de Paris, a multi-volume project that gathers biographies, portraits, stories, and legends connected with the names of Paris streets, showing his interest in making the city's past vivid for general readers.
Records from the Bibliothèque nationale de France also show a broad body of 19th-century publications under his name, suggesting a steady literary career rather than a single famous title. While detailed personal information appears limited in the sources available, his surviving books present him as a versatile man of letters with a clear attachment to Paris and its history.
