During the years 1910–1913 the family stayed in Paris at 43 Rue de l’Abbé Grégoire[9] in Montparnasse-Luxembourg, near Rive Gauche, and halfway between Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, located in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. During their time in Paris the family Wallin got to know some other Swedish artists with whom they got friends for life. Some of their friends were the Swedish artist and sculptor Gottfrid Larsson (1875–1936) with wife Karen Larsson (born Waaler), who were staying in Paris in 1908–1913, and the artist and photographer Erik Tryggelin (1879–1962).[10][11]
