23 September 2021 Paris A walk to Les Deux Magots

 


It was such a lovely day that we walked from the Musee Rodin to Les Deux Magots.   It took 20 minutes to walk and we took 20 different roads.  It was well worth the walk.  This café has been around for since 1812 and hosted a bevy of literary and artistic greats, Hemingway, Picasso, James Joyce, Berthold Brecht and Julia Child to name a few.  They all were here for the great food and spirits.  We all has a drink and a toast for the great opportunity that we have been given to visit France.
