Hi Jenny,
You may want to know that on the day of the 150 anniversary the City of Montevideo and the Ministry of Culture will inaugurate a plaque, in the place where Jules’s house used to be.
You may find the info in several official websites from the Uruguay gov, including this (rather sober...) page: http://cultura.mec.gub.uy/innovaportal/v/2257/8/mecweb/jules_laforgue_a_150_anos?parentid=701
Regards from Montevideo,
Emilio
