Octroi de Neuilly

It's a closed brick building. We pass by without paying attention. There is simply written on "Grant Neuilly". It recalls the time when goods did not circulate freely throughout France and where it was necessary to pay a multitude of rights to pass or cross certain limits. The famous painter "Douanier Rousseau" owed his name to a job in a similar grant before he could live on his painting. The story says that it would be G. Appolinaire who would have attributed to him.
