Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux

Plaque text translated from French: In the house that stood here at No. 4 rue Chambovet, René Tavernier created, directed, and published the literary review ''Confluences.'' A meeting of the National Council of Writers of the South Zone also took place here, and it was here that Louis Aragon wrote "Il n'y a pas d'amour heureux."

Il n’y a pas d’amour heureux (transl. There Is no Happy Love) is a poem written by Louis Aragon in January 1943, and published in La Diane Française [fr] in 1944. The poem reflects on the inherent contradiction between love and the pain that it inevitably brings to those who experience it. An underlying meaning, made explicit in the final stanza, applies this theme to the French Resistance, in which Aragon participated.
