I asked my French classmate Anthony and he explained it this way:

Salut Jin Hui


FAIRE (DO the) 'les quatre cents coup' means that you have made all the possible criminal action like stole a bank or a museum in your life
so you are an expert or another possible means is that when you were young you do all the possible laugh and delirium with your friends .
More generally 'les quatre cents coup' means you've doing all the possible thing for a given behavior, And i'm sorry but i dont know the Paris's street and configuration but you can take a map

    I never stole pocket money, and handed over all the New Year's money. I'm really sorry for my childhood.

    Truffaut's debut novel, the pioneering work of the French "New Wave". The protagonist, Towan, is close to Truffaut's autobiographical mapping, and he is a pioneer in the same content and form as this film, and is recorded in film history. The narration of the film is true and concise, simple and powerful, the soundtrack is beautiful, and the most commendable is the extensive use of long shots. Impressive scenes: boy tearing paper, curling up in a spinning amusement machine, stealing milk, escaping while running, running to the sea. (9.0/10)
