Mauricet
(CHANSONNIERS)
11 Rue Saint-Vincent

Montmartrois chansonnier Georges Maurice Renaut was a theatre and film actor, playwright and director. He studied engineering at the l’Ecole Centrale before the life of an artist beckoned. He needed a name fit for a performer, it was fellow chansonnier Martial Boyer who chose it for him, announcing “Mauricet” as he walked onto the stage at the
Théâtre des Noctambules. Mauricet was director of variety shows at Radiodiffusion française. He appeared regularly in the cabarets of Montmartre, including the Les Deux Anes on Boulevard de Clichy. He died in 1968, about the time he lived here, and is buried in the Saint-Vincent de Montmartre Cemetery, which is a bit further down this road.
