| Le Boulevard Saint-Michel est un beau chemin bordé d’arbres. Il est un tourbillon d’activité. La Place de la Sorbonne est une retraite bienvenue. C’est le temps pour de réflexion et de pensée tranquille. Cette une place à reposer au soleil, pour observer les personnes passer près, pour boire d’un café chaud et pour lire une livre comme ‘Un Festin Mobile’ du Hemingway. |

| Boulevard Saint-Michel is a beautiful tree-lined way. It is a hustle and bustle. Place de la Sorbonne is a welcome retreat. Time for some self reflection and quiet thought. This is a place to sit in the sun, watch the people pass by, drink a hot coffee and read a book like Hemingway’s ‘Moveable Feast’. |

Well, this takes me right back! I was living in Paris, working and studying at the Sorbonne when that book came out. Needless to say, I devoured it! Merci, Julie.
Yes, it was readied for publication by Mary Hemingway in 1964 three years after Ernest's death. It is incredibly evocative. As is Edmund White's 'The Flaneur' but there are entire chapters in this latter work which are a crushing bore. The section on Ile de la Cité is a treasure.
Love your photos of Paris and your passion for it. My eldest daughter is sitting with me and agrees with you. Paris is the back streets, the people and the food.
As I like to say, it may be a moveable feast but Paris is best savored in person. Right here!:)
