I love walking around the Latin quarter in Paris. There’s so much history! Great philosophers and thinkers from Montaigne to Simone de Beauvoir.

I even found the house where Simone lived when she wrote the Second S*x. I continued down the street only to see Notre Dame towering above me.

Fascinating discoveries of Roman ruins in
Paris.

There were thermal baths, forums and gladiator contests near where I work at the Sorbonne

I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for more signs from antiquity

I would loved to have been in Paris when Brendan Behan lived here. He worked as a house painter while perfecting his verse in Irish.

He followed in the footsteps of James Joyce through the streets of the left bank.

He met Camus and James Baldwin in Les Deux Magots. He enjoyed discussing Existentialism with the philosophers.

Beth, Kristin and Stephanie (Chicago) and Andy (Bristol) joined me on my Writers and Legends of the Left Bank tour today.

Beth (far left) was interested in the French philosophers. Don’t be fooled by her walking stick. She could outrun anybody!

Andy was a Henry Miller fan. I was delighted to share stories of the love triangle between him, Anaïs Nin and June.

I love how this seedy, run down hotel in Paris gave birth to the Beat Generation.

I’m not sure if drugs were the only driving force Allen Ginsberg’s creative genius. I think Paris must have inspired him too.
