The population was 2,400 in 1836, 4,545 in 1841, but larger in summer. In 1861 the population was 11,431.

The nearest métro and RER stations are Passy and Avenue du Président Kennedy.The modest house, with its courtyard and garden, is located within the residential district of Passy near the Bois de Boulogne. Having fled his creditors, Balzac rented its top floor from 1840-1847 under his housekeeper's name (Mr. de Breugnol). It was acquired by the city of Paris in 1949, and is now one of the city's three literary museums, along with the Maison de Victor Hugo and the Musée de la Vie Romantique (George Sand). It is the only one of Balzac's many residences still in existence. Balzac's five-room apartment was located on the top floor, at three levels, and as today opened into the garden. Here he edited La Comedie humaine and wrote some of his finest novels, including La Rabouilleuse, Une ténébreuse affaire, and La Cousine Bette. Although the writer's furniture was dispersed after his widow's death, the museum now contains Balzac's writing desk and chair, his turquoise-studded cane by Lecointe (1834), and his tea kettle and a coffee pot given to him by Zulma Carraud in 1832. The museum also contains an 1842 daguerreotype of Balzac by Louis-Auguste Bisson, a drawing of Balzac by Paul Gavarni (c. 1840), a pastel portrait (c. 1798) of Balzac's mother Laure Sallambier (1778–1854), an oil portrait (c. 1795-1814) of his father Bernard-François Balzac (1746–1829), and 19th-century prints by renowned artists including Paul Gavarni, Honoré Daumier, Grandville, and Henry Bonaventure Monnier. Since 1971 the house's ground floor has contained a library of the author's manuscripts, original and subsequent editions, illustrations, books annotated and signed by Balzac, books devoted to Balzac, and other books and magazines of the period. In 2012, Balzac's House was renovated in order to meet current standards and now has a more modern appearance.

Jane Henriot (born Jeanne Angèle Grossin 28 April 1878 – 8 March 1900) was an actress at the Comédie-Française and a model for the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir posing in Fillette au chapeau bleu (English: Little girl in blue hat) in 1881 when she was a child. She died having suffocated and asphyxiated in an explosion and fire at the Comédie-Française having tried to save her little dog.

Henriette Henriot (born Marie Henriette Alphonsine Grossin 14 November 1857 – 17 March 1944) was an actress and a favourite model of the French artist Renoir. She is known for the model in his painting La Parisienne on display at the National Museum, Cardiff. Henriot, the daughter of Aline Grossin, a milliner, started at the Conservatoire de musique et de déclamation in Paris in 1872, where she studied acting. She was still using her birth name of Marie Henriette Alphonsine Grossin, and it wasn't until 1874 when she started to use her stage names of Henriette Henriot, Mademoiselle Henriot, and Madame Henriot when she was appearing in acting roles at the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique and had started modelling for Renoir as a way to earn extra cash. It was at this point that she was performing in minor parts in the Théâtre de l'Odéon, Théâtre Libre and Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique.Colin Bailey formerly of the Frick Collection said in an exhibition catalogue in 2012: Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting: Between 1874 and 1876 Henriot modelled for five of Renoir's most ambitious full-length pictures and at least seven smaller works. She appears fully and fashionably dressed in La Parisienne, draped and damp in La Source; seated in the shade with a suitor in the Lovers; in Troubadour costume in The Page, and as the protective elder sister in La Promenade. It is not known whether Renoir ever paid Henriot for modelling, however he did give her two paintings, the last painting he did of her was A Vase of Flowers. Renoir had also become close friends with her during this time, so much so that he also painted her daughter, Jeanne Angèle Grossin (1878 – 1900) who modelled for him in Fillette au chapeau bleu (Little girl in blue hat). Jeanne was killed in a theater fire in 1900, when she was 21.
