It was Jussieu, the head of the Forensic Laboratory, who had one evening taken the Inspector around to Dr. Pardon's. "You'll see, he's a man you'll like."... After being on the staff at Val-de-Grâce, an assistant of Lebraz, he spent five years on the staff of Sainte-Anne. Then became a GP, by choice, working 12-15 hours ago, without caring about whether his patients could pay. His passion was cooking.

In the living room was a grand piano and embroidery work on all the furniture. A little man, rather stout, very large head, bulging eyes. Mme. Pardon was thin, with a very long nose. ...

[1955-COR] The traditional monthly visits with the Pardons still continued, so on the previous Friday M and Mme M had made their way to the Rue Picpus. [1955-TEN] One evening M had gone to see his friend Pardon, the doctor in the Rue Picpus, at whose house they dined regularly once a month. M had had bronchitis and got up too soon, and had had to take to bed a second time, and for a while an attack of pleurisy was feared. Pardon had advised a holiday.... They had come to Joinville in the Pardon's car, and it was M who had chosen the restaurant, facing the Island of Love [Île d'Amour].... M called Pardon to ask if he knew who Dr J-- of Boulevard Haussmann was. Pardon said he'd check the Medical Register, and found it was Dr , Philippe Jave, probably 45, sound practitioner, good-looking. The other doctor was Gilbert Négrel, about 30, one of Professor Lebier's assistants. [1956-AMU] M called Pardon to arrange to drop by and ask about the Xavier Marton visit. M made his leisurely way to the Rue Picpus where Pardon lived in an old block of flats without a lift. The maid, who knew him, did not take him through the waiting room, but along the corridor and in at the back door. M asked about Steiner. Pardon was just a family doctor, with just a smattering of neurology and psychiatry.... The day before, Pardon, his friend in the Rue Picpus, had called to tell M that Mme M had been in for a checkup. [1957-SCR] Pardon, at 45, was nearly bald. This was the 44th rice pudding in the four years the M's had dined regularly once a month at the Pardons'. The maid placed the rice pudding on the table. The Pardons in turn came once a month to the M's. Five or six months after the visits had started, Mme. Pardon had made rice pudding, and M had three helpings, saying it reminded him of his childhood, and he hadn't had as good a one in 40 years. After that, every dinner at the Pardons' new apartment on Boulevard Voltaire had it. Daughter Alice had married a vetinary surgeon, Bruart a year ago, was seven months pregnant.... Although M and Pardon had met late in life, they had always been able to understand each other's half spoken utterances. [1959-CON] M had discussed it with his friend Pardon, the local doctor with whom he and his wife had got into the habit of dining once a month. Once when his office had been full all day, Pardon had displayed a touch of discouragement, almost of bitterness. "28 patients in the afternoon alone!" [1959-ASS] That evening, the Pardons, instead of asking them to their flat, as usual, had taken them to a little restaurant on the Boulevard du Montparnasse. [1960-VIE] Only to his old friend Dr. Pardon, who lived in the Rue Popincourt, did he sometimes mutter something that might be considered confidential. [1961-PAR] Mme M said that Francine Pardon had called. They come back from Italy on Monday. It was the first vacation the Pardons had taken by themselves in over 20 years. They had gone by car, intending to visit Florence, Rome and Naples, and to come back via Venice and Milan, stopping wherever they pleased. They'd invited the Maigrets to dinner next Wednesday. Traditionally it should have been on the first Wednesday of the month. She'd said the trip was exhausting, almost as much traffic on the roads as on the Champs-Élysées. Their daughter was fine, the baby gorgeous... She'd married the year before and had a baby a few months old. They'd decided to buy a small house, by the sea or in the country.... M thought the relationship between the René Josselin's and Dr. Larue were like the Maigrets and the Pardons. He wondered if they too had a set day. [1961-BRA] M and Mme talked about Doctor Pardon's daughter, who was expecting her second child. [1962-CLI] He'd suddenly felt an urge to go to the Brasserie Dauphine, and in spite of the advice of his friend Pardon, the Rue Picpus doctor, at whose home he and Mme M had dined the previous week, to treat himself to an apéritif.... Pardon had recommended him to watch his liver. [1962-COL] It was in the Rue Popincourt, several hundred yards from the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, at the Pardon's house, where M had for years been dining once a month. The doctor and his wife dined at the M's once a month too. Pardon offered M a cigar. M had only seen him smoke cigarettes. He was neither tall nor fat. His dark hair was turning gray and his face was lined. He was 49. He had last examined M about a year earlier.... Solange, Pardon's daughter,pregnant for the second time, was staying with her parents whileher husband, an engineer in the eastern district, was at acongress in Nice. Her first-born, a boy, was asleep in hiscrib. [1964-DEF] M had often discussed with Dr. Pardon that people are basically afraid. [1965-PAT] Pardon called M at 1:30 am. They'd left a little after 11:00, after their monthly dinner which had been a tasty shoulder of mutton. They'd been dining together once a month for almost ten years, and yet the men never thought of being on Christian name terms. At dinner they'd talked about his daughter and son-in-law, and the cruise they were going to make to the Balearic Islands next summer. It was Jan 14, and it had been 12 degrees below zero all day.... In the elevator M had noticed that Pardon's face was strained.... Pardon's maid came with the report that he had typed up. For her he was the guest who came to dinner every month. [1966-NAH] M would have been interested in hearing Dr. Pardon's impression of François Ricain.... Alone again, M thought of phoning Dr. Pardon. He was no psychiatrist, nor a professional psychologist, but often his advice had reinforced M in his opinions.... Their monthly dinner was not due till the following week. [1966-VOL] M's trip to Vichy had started because of an evening at Pardon's, when Mme. Pardon had served a canard au sang, one of M's favorites, which he hardly touched. He had even passed up the Armagnac. Pardon had insisted on an examination. [1967-VIC] M had often argued about Article 64 with his old friend Pardon. [1968-HES] For the first time since they'd started dining once a month at the Pardons, M would have an unpleasant memory of the evening on the Boulevard Voltaire. Mme. Pardon had made boeuf bourguignon as only she could... they'd talked about provincial cooking, potée lorraine, tripes à la mode de Caen, bouillabaisse... Pardon was tired. He said if he had a son he tell him not to become a doctor... Pardon sat at his desk smoking a cigarette. [1969-TUE] Mme M suggested having Pardon look in on M for his cold. He hated bothering the doctor, especially when it was his old friend Pardon, who seldom managed to get through a meal without interruption.... M said that while Mme M always felt grog was the best cure for the flu Pardon didn't agree. She said it was time they had them over to dinner, as they hadn't seen them for a month. [1969-VIN] M had just drunk a glass of Calvados, and stopped himself from having another. His friend. Pardon would have been displeased with him for even contemplating it. [1970-FOL] M had promised Dr. Pardon to moderate his drinking, but went ahead and had a third draught beer. [1971-SEU] It had been the Maigrets turn to have the Pardons in. There was an unspoken agreetment between them, consolidated over the years. Once a month Doctor Pardon and his wife had the Maigrets to dinner in their apartment on the Boulevard Voltaire. Two weeks later it would be the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir.... M ordered a pastis. Since his friend Pardon had warned him, he drank less, smoked less.

Julien Chabot told M that even for taking fingerprints he was obliged to send for someone from Poitiers.

[1953-ECO] Julien Chabot told M that Auguste Point had graduated in law from Poitiers, about the same year as Julien Chabot and M. [1954-MIN] M asked if the wine was from Sancerre. The proprieter (Aline Calas ) replied that it was from a little village near Poitiers, (which accounted for the slight flinty tang)... Aline said her husband must have taken the train to Poitiers. From there by bus to Saint-Aubin or some other village in the district. Usually stayed at a local inn. [1955-COR] Philippe Jave was born at Poitiers. [1956-AMU] Lousteau, a grain merchant from near Niort, was in the same car as Martin Duché on his way home. Had recognized him after the car emptied out at Poitiers, and only the two of them were left. [1959-CON] An elderly lawyer was discussing precedents, in Limoges in 1885 and Poitiers in 1923, in which the preliminary investigation had been recast at the public trial.

When they left Paris they moved to Poitou she believed. [1950-noe] Poitou, Le. see: Le Poitou .

Motte lived in the Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, the Marais district, with a few historic houses, mainly small artisans, from Poland, Hungary or Lithuania. [1964-DEF] polcod. The secret international language use by police headquarters all over the world. M read another telegram in polcod, from Bremen. [1929-30-LET] Pole. In a letter from Anna Gorskin's father: We are caught between the Lithuanians and the Poles, they both hate the Jews.... M remembered a Pole, thin, blond, 22, his mother a charwoman. Five years later he was a dsitinguished scientist, aloof, short-spoken, cold, dined with the President.... In the passage near the Au Roi-de-Sicile M ran into two collarless Poles, who looked away when they saw him coming.... At last Pietr came to the Rue du Roi-de-Sicile, a crooked street fringed with blind alleys, still half-Jewish, but already half a Polish colony, and turned into the lobby of a hotel.... The notorious Polish gang whose leaders all ended on the scaffold went in for killing. [1929-30-LET] There was a Pole whose papers weren't in order. They took him away too. [1930-31-TET] During the past four years a gang of Poles had attacked five farms, always in Northern France. The farms had been isolated, the farmers elderly. Always on the day after a market day the crimes occurred, and everyone was killed, including children, their throats slashed with knives. A 12-year old boy had seen a one-eyed man. Others said the gang wore black masks... [1937-38-sta] M said he'd bet the man [Stephan Strevzki] was a Pole. [1939-hom] Mimile told M he could leave Paris in 24 hours if he could find the Pole to take care of the animals.... Mimile met a Pole at À ma Bourgogne, and since he could speak a little Polish, got him to help him. [1945-FAC] It seemed to M that there were freshly arrived Italians, Poles and Czechs... [1946-NEW] In October of the previous winter a Pole, 'Stan the Killer', who had attacked a number of farms in the north of France, had holed up in a small hotel at the corner of the Rue de Birague and the Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Antoine. He'd shot down the two policemen outside, and had then shot himself. [1946-mal] Piéchaud, about 35, had nearly been killed while arresting a Pole, and his right cheek bore a scar left by a revolver bullet. [1947-VAC] As a few Poles were living in the area, and no Czechs, some people talked about a "Polish gang".... Asked if there were any Czechs in the neighborhood, the answer would invariably be, "Poles, Italians, and Armenian... but no Czechs." [1947-MOR] The man from Barodet's squad who was digging was Barrère, who'd been shot a month earlier arresting a Pole in the Rue Caulaincourt. [1948-PRE] M might find himself asked, "Haven't you arrested your Pole on the Rue de Birague yet?" It wasn't that he had anything against Poles. But at that time thousands had come to France to work in the mines in the north. Most were good workers, but there was also a percentage of trouble-making riff-raff.... In the Saint-Antoine district M found up to 7 or 8 Poles in a single room, most of them sleeping on the floor. [1950-MEM] They'd been involved in more difficult arrests. M thought of a Pole who had for months terrorized the farms in the North and finally holed up in a little hotel in Paris, armed to the teeth. [1951-LOG] M had been studying all the historical cases which bore some resemblance... Jack the Ripper, the Düsseldorf Vampire, the Viennese lamplighter, and the Pole who operated among the farms in the Aisne Department. [1955-TEN] It had happened between two Poles, in a hovel near the Porte d'Italie. A laborer who spoke bad French, a wretched puny man called Stéphane, with an unpronouncable last name, lived there with a woman and four small children. The woman was the wife of Majewski, who'd been a farm laborer on farms in the north. The two eldest children were Majewski's. Stéphane said Majewski had given him his wife... sold her to him. Majewski had come back, and during the night Stéphane had stabbed him and the wife. [1961-BRA] One of the letters was from Wanda, who Jeanne Chabut thought must be a Russian or a Pole. [1969-VIN] Poles. All the year round, by tens, hundreds, thousands, Poles, Jews, Rumanians, Italian s were streaming outwards to the four corners of the globe. [1932-FOU] A gang of Poles, 5 or 6 of them, were holed up in the squalid Hôtel des Arcades. One of them, nicknamed the Baron, had changed a bill stolen from the Vansittart farm, at a parimutuel window at Longchamps. [1940-CEC] M glanced through the papers on his desk. Routine stuff. A group of Poles that needed watching... [1940-JUG] M. Lorilleux had a shop in the Palais-Royal, which sold souvineers and old coins. When he disappeared one day, his business was taken over by some Poles. [1950-noe] Police Benevolent Association.

On the enormous map of Paris that covered a large part of the wall, a small white disk lighted up. The roar of the traffic on the Île de la Cité penetrated this room, that was the brain of the Police Emergency Center. Below, in the courtyard of Police Headquarters... [1941-SIG] Police Headquarters. M greeted the office boy at Police Headquarters by his Christian name.... They reached Meaux, and M told the driver to take them to Police Headquarters, Quai des Orfèvres. [1930-31-PHO] Oscar said if M checked at Police Headquarters they'd say he'd been picked up once or twice in raids, as he used to go to the Rue de Lappe to dance a java... [1931-NUI] At Headquarters [Police Headquarters] for the past five days Capt. Yves Joris had been known simply as "the Bloke". [l'Homme] [1932-POR] M ordered Christiani to call Lucas at Police Headquarters. [1936-pig] Since he'd been landed with this case in the Rue Saint-Denis, M had been in one of his worst moods, tense and edgy, which made him unapproachable at Police Headquarters. [1936-err] Martin pushed open the glazed door of the waiting room of the Head Office; as sparsely lighted as the rest of the building at Police Headquarters. In the middle of it was a huge round sofa covered in red velvet. The old porter was in his glass cage, eating his dinner. [1936-bea] Michael Ozep had turned up at Police Headquarters, introduced himself as a former officer in the Polish army, now a teacher of gymnastics in Paris. He said he'd jumped off the Pont d'Austerlitz into the Seine to kill himself, but the police from the River Squad pulled him out. [1937-38-sta] The taxi drew up to Police Headquarters and M got out. [1937-38-eto] M took his favorite attitude, in which Headquarters [Police Headquarters] at the Quai des Orfèvres had so often seen him, pipe between his teeth, back to the fire, hands clasped behind his back, with that indefinable air of stubbornness... [1937-38-man] When Mme M said they'd called three times, M said "From the House [la Maison]?", what he and his colleagues sometimes called Police Headquarters [Police Judiciaire]. [1939-MAJ] M arrived at the Gare d'Orsay, then his apartment on the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir. He changed buses at the stop nearest to Police Headquarters, and from there he could see the window that had once been his. [1940-JUG] On the enormous map of Paris that covered a large part of the wall, a small white disk lighted up. The roar of the traffic on the Île de la Cité penetrated this room, that was the brain of the Police Emergency Center. Below, in the courtyard of Police Headquarters... [1941-SIG] If M hadn't come, Jacques Pétillon would have climbed the dusty stairs of Police Headquarters... [1942-FEL] The corridor of Police Headquarters was a long empty stretch of sunlit greyness. [1945-pip] This was all so different from his surroundings at Police Headquarters in Paris.... M called Police Headquarters in Paris, asked for Lucas and got Torrence. Asked to speak to Janvier, to have him see if anyone had come for letters at the poste restante for Émile Duffieux. [1947-VAC] M gave orders for one of the Police Headquarters cars to be kept at his disposal, left in the courtyard of the Quai des Orfèvres.... Messengers were rushing from the Hotels Section to the Vice Squad, and from there to Police Headquarters. [1947-MOR] He would later have a similar stove at the Quai des Orfèvres, and when the central heating was installed at Police Headquarters, Chief-Divisional-Inspector Maigret, chief of the special squad, would manage to have it kept in his office.... M didn't know that 22 years later, he would meet Lise Gendreau-Balthazar again, and it would not be called the Sûreté, but Paris Police Headquarters [1948-PRE] Pyke already knew all the departments of Police Headquarters, which he had been shown around. [1949-AMI] M answered the call from the Chief of Police Headquarters. [1949-DAM] M had ceased to realize, after so many years, that when he arrived at the top of the steep, dusty staircase at Police Headquarters, always slightly out of breath, he would make a brief pause and glance automatically at the glass cage which served as a waiting room, konwn to some of his colleagues as "the aquarium", to others as "Purgatory".... M had been wrong to use 'tu" to Thérèse. Louis Paumelle had noticed and frowned. Officials at Police Headquarters usually speak like that to women of her type. [1953-ECO] When something big happened, the men in the Exchange would notify Police Headquarters. [1954-JEU] Victor Cadet lived in the Rue du Chemin-Vert, not far from Police Headquarters. [1955-COR] He hurried into the arched, drafty entrance of Police Headquarters. [1958-TEM] M said his investigation had the consent of the Director of Police Headquarters. The Public Prosecutor's office had not been informed, and he had only mentioned it to the Examining Magistrate in passing. He was not acting on his instructions, nor on those of the Attorney General. [1959-ASS] Climbing the stairs at Police Headquarters as a divisional chief-inspector seemed strange to him. [1960-VIE] Saint-Hubert said he'd notified the District Attorney [Parquet] and Police Headquarters [PJ]. [1961-BRA] At the bar of the Brasserie Dauphine he saw at least a dozen men from Police Headquarters who had scarcely more work than he had. [1962-COL] François Paré said he appreciated not being called down to Police Headquarters. [1968-ENF] Police Headqurters.
All he could see himself was the massive entrance to Police Headquarters with a constable on duty, the yard with its little black cars, and the windows, one of which was his office.

Police Infirmary Police Judiciaire. One of the clerks had written "Affaire Heurtin" in beautiful writing on the folder. [1930-31-TET] The University of Nancy had requested that a member of the Police Judiciaire be present in Delfzijl. [1931-HOL] M told Marcel Basso they'd keep him at Police Judiciaire and then turn him over to the Sûrété later on.... The three men were left in the special cell of the Police Judiciaire, James, M and Marcel Basso. [1931-GUI] Anna Peeters had brought a letter to the Police Judiciaire, which M had recognized from the writing as being from Mme M's cousin in Nancy. [1932-FLA] M introduced himself to the mayor, Ernest Grandmaison: "Inspector Maigret, Police Judiciaire." [1932-POR] M received a letter from Leduc, an old friend who had retired two years earlier from the Police Judiciaire, to settle down to country life in Dordogne. [1932-FOU] Inspector of the Police Judiciaire. A rotten job, and that's all there was to say about it! [1932-LIB] M told the maid he was from the Police Judiciaire. [1933-ECL] A chance visitor to Marina's wouldn't have suspected that the thickset man in the heavy overcoat was Superintendent Maigret of the Police Judiciaire. [1936-pig] The PJ had suggested that M look into the group of Poles in the Saint-Antoine district.... The Director of the Police Judiciaire got out of his car and asked Lucas where M was. M scarcely noticed the arrival of his Chief. [1937-38-sta] M had almost ceased to belong to the Police Judiciaire. In 2 more days he would have officially retired. He had spent 30 years in the office in the Quai des Orfèvres. Now he was counting the hours, dreaming constantly of the house on the banks of the Loire, where Mme M was already fixing things up for his arrival. [1937-38-eto] The girl [Berthe] wrote that she was the niece of a man who was for a long time his colleague in the Police Judiciaire, and who died by his side shortly before M's retirement..... M called Police Judiciaire and asked for his nephew, Jérôme Lacroix, and told him to meet him at the Zanzi-Bar on the Rue Caulaincourt. [1937-38-ber] M. Motte said he knew M didn't leave the Police Judiciaire and set up as a private detective.... M realized that the theft of the ivories could have a stronger emotional significance than a violent crime at the Police Judiciaire. [1937-38-not] The glass door which provided direct access between the Police Judiciaire headquarters and the Palais de Justice and the Archives. On the right a staircase leading to the attics which housed Police Records and the Forensic Laboratory. [1940-CEC] For no reason M's mind suddenly went to the recent amalgamation of the Police Judiciaire and the Sûreté Générale, with its attendant disruption which... had caused him to be shunted off to Luçon. [1940-JUG] M walked heavily up the stairs of the Police Judiciaire. François, the receptionist, pounced on him before he could reach his office.... M asked the Police Judiciaire receptionist to bring him 2 beers. [1941-SIG] On being asked of M's methods by a visiting criminologist, the Chief Commissioner of the Police Judiciaire had sad, "He settles into a case like an old pair of slippers." [1942-FEL] M recognized a pale face, Old Cadaver, Justin Cavre, who'd been called that at Police Judiciaire for 20 years... Only at this point, and for the first time since he had become involved in the case, did he play Maigret, as was said of inspecotrs at the Police Judiciaire who tried to imitate the great man. [1943-CAD] M's temples were grayer, he was somewhat calmer and heavier, but he didn't feel he'd grown any older since leaving the Police Judiciaire. [1945-FAC] M told the Chief of the Police Judiciaire they'd see what would come of it, but it was finally a waiter from the Boulevard Saint-Germain who gave them the link to Théodore Ballard. [1946-pau] M overheard one of the newsmen looking over the passenger list, "Hey, that's the same name as the famous inspector of the Police Judiciaire." [1946-NEW] Alfonsi had been attached to the Police Judiciaire, but not M's department. For a few years had been in Vice Squad. [1949-MME] Nowadays everyone knows what's involved in conferences in the Police Judiciaire, but in those days most Parisians would have been hard put to even say which government service was located in the Quai des Orfèvres.... Jacquemain walked with him to the Palais de Justice, the Police Judiciaire, and that night, walking up and down the Seine, talked about his job as a police inspector. [1950-MEM] The Police Judiciaire had procured a list of all the passengers who had arrived at Le Havre and Cherbourg in the past few weeks. [1951-LOG] Of all the officers at the Police Judiciaire, Janvier looked least like a policeman. [1953-TRO] As a young policeman, newly appointed to the Police Judiciaire, which Parisiens still called the Sûreté, M had belong to the Public Highways Squad, and walked the streets of Paris from morning to night. [1962-CLO] Roland Blutet.... M's first reaction was to go to the chief of the Police Judiciaire. [1964-DEF]
M had found a summons from the Chief of Police on his arrival at the Police Judiciaire, and as he went to the Boulevard du Palais, he wondered what it meant. He told M the Head of the PJ was retiring next month after 12 years, and he and the Minister of the Interior agreed to offer M the post.
