The Raja of Jarada (A Zamndari of Orissa) had also married a French Lady who
was recognized as the 2nd Queen and had a house at Paris which his
successor gave to the Lady as a settlement. Can someone locate this house
? and also find out as to who are the present owners and occupants. It is
said that it was close to Baroda House at Paris.

Regards,

B.K.Singh Deo
