In this chapter, I explore the third person narrator's description of three neighborhoods in Rendezvous Eighteenth, which show Jake Lamar's emphasis on second generation French people of African descent. I frame my analysis with Toni Morrison's description of third person point of view and Zora Neale Hurston's expression of "going a piece of the way with them" to explain that Lamar's third person narrator's function as a guide in the novel. I then discuss my use of Google Earth as a guide to "Street view" Jake Lamar's descriptions and compare the Google Street View to Jake Lamar descriptions. I then analyze the three descriptions of Barbes, Montmartre, and la Goutte d'Or revealing that the guide depicts the familiar and unfamiliar/distinct in these areas. In Barbes, the narrator portrays the familiar border of Pigalle and highlights the "bustling" community that he reveals as "the third world" in Paris (--). In Montmartre, the narrator depicts the familiar artists' community that is distinct in the twenty-first century for being overrun with the English language. In la Goutte d'Or the narrator shows the familiar depiction of North Africans in the Street, but also a post-French Algerian War torn "desolation" (--). I show that Lamar’s detailed mapping of the eighteenth emphasizes the flows of immigrants into Paris and depicts a city altered by the large population of first and second generation citizens of France.  <--verify language.
