• The Smallest Building in Paris: 39, rue du Château-d'Eau (10th - Mº Château-d'Eau)
  
  I don't really know what else to say about it, the name is quite explanatory. It's not a hot tourist spot. It's even unknown by the huge majority of Parisians. And it is totally unimpressive, except maybe by its narrowness (barely wider than the door). It's just the smallest building in Paris.

Famous People Homes
(by David)

(here will only be listed famous people's houses and apartments from the past, in order to respect the privacy of people that are alive and well, I'm not the Paparazzi kind)

• Ernest Hemingway's Apartment: 74, rue du Cardinal-Lemoine (5th - Mº Cardinal-Lemoine)
  
  The most famous of the two apartments where Hemingway lived during his time in Paris.
  He also lived on 113, rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs (6th - Mº Vavin, Raspail or Port-Royal (RER), but the building does not exist anymore.
  Also check the "Hemingway's Paris" section of the site.

• Francis Scott Fitzgerald's Apartment: 14, rue de Tilsitt (8th - Mº Charles-de-Gaulle Étoile)
  
  This is where the writer lived during his time in Paris in the 20's.

• François Mitterrand's House: 22, rue de Bièvre (5th - Mº Maubert-Mutualité)
  
  This is the place where former French President François Mitterrand lived most of his Paris life, including the time he was in office. There's not much to see except for a big massive gate.

• Gertrude Stein's Apartment: 31, rue de Fleurus (6th - Mº St-Placide or Notre-Dame-des-Champs)

• Jim Morrison's Apartment: 17, rue Beautreillis (4th - Mº Bastille)
  
  Jim Morrison stayed in an apartment on the third floor of this building with Pamela Courson from March 11th, 1971 until his death on July, 3rd of the same year. This is in this apartment that he was found dead (the place of his actual death being subject of debate).
