Jacques Prévert was reluctant to become sedentary, and for a long time lived in furnished apartments and hotels, moving between Paris, Saint-Paul-de-Vence and Antibes. In 1955, he moved and resided more permanently into 6 bis cité Véron, a small cobbled cul-de-sac on the edge of the boulevard de Clichy, marked by a handsome enameled sign. He stayed there until 1975, after which point he moved to Omonville-la-Petite, in the Cotentin region, where he lived until his death in 1977. Prévert nevertheless retained the lease on Cité Véron, and the apartment now belongs to the artist's granddaughter, who is the sole heir to the Jacques Prévert estate.
