Louis Lazare (7 October 1811 - 12 March 1880) was a French writer, under the direction of the prefect of Rambuteau. Attached to the city archives during Haussmann's renovation of Paris under the Second French Empire, he was tasked with documenting that renovation in writing. He is particularly known for co-authoring with Felix Lazare the Administrative and Historical Dictionary of the Streets of Paris and its Monuments, published in 1844, which provides a very precise overview of the city's urban fabric just before Haussmann's urban projects.
In February 1880 he was made a member of the Société de l'histoire de Paris et de l'Île-de-France. [1]
