The new owner Monsieur Paulhiac was, like Alfred Nobel, extremely wealthy. Muhlbacher's daughter, who had inherited the house from her father, sold it in 1909.

Forced by circumstances - he was accused of “high treason against France” and thus had to close his laboratory in Sevran - Nobel, disappointed and bitter, left the French capital in 1891 and settled in San Remo, Italy. However, Alfred Nobel found it necessary to find a more suitable location for his experiments and in 1881 he bought an estate with a laboratory at Sevran, northeast of Paris. Most of his time at Avenue Malakoff was spent in the laboratory with his assistant Georges Fehrenbach, who worked for him for nearly two decades. Here in 1875 Alfred Nobel succeeded in creating blasting gelatine, which was an improvement on dynamite and proved to be perfect for blasting through hard rock. In the courtyard at Avenue Malakoff Nobel had a small, well equipped laboratory. During his Paris years he established close contact with Victor Hugo and other writers. For many years before settling in Paris he had been an admirer of French literature and culture.
