- ↑ The Comptoir national d'Escompte de Paris, 14 rue Bergère, was one of the largest French banks of the era, and a pioneer of international transactions. (See the timeline of its founding and its international expansion.) Proust's great-uncle on his mother's side, Louis Weil, had been a member of its "Conseil d'Escompte" (originally organized according to commercial and industrial specializations), from 1852 to 1872 (see BNP Paribas Archives, Annual Report for 1852 and the following years).
