Ooh la la - your writing brought me back to Paris with nostalgia! I lived right next to Caveau de la Huchette - and when (1995) my boyfriend soon to be husband and I went to La Coupole one wintery night, the maire'd put us at a table right next to Francois Mitterand - when rose to leave, the whole restaurant erupted into whoops and applauds! So memorable! Thanks for reminding me Paris is the best city in the world (after New York, of course) - glad you had a fantastique voyage!
I spent a summer in Paris many years ago and also read A Moveable Feast while I was there! I enjoyed it too, despite not having read most of Hemingway's novels - your essay takes me back and reminds me what a delight the memoir is! - S
