Literary & Continuous
Saint-Germain & Saint-Sulpice
Left Bank as the traveller knows it, Flore, Lipp, rue de Buci, Saint-Sulpice fountain.
The 6e is the Left Bank as the traveller knows it, Saint-Germain-des-Prés with the abbey-tower silhouette and the Café de Flore + Les Deux Magots literary corner, the rue de Buci market street, the Saint-Sulpice fountain by Visconti. Lipp on Boulevard Saint-Germain still pours Alsatian; La Closerie des Lilas keeps the Hemingway-Pound register; Le Sélect on Montparnasse boundary holds the writer's afternoon. The traveller uses the 6e for the Sunday brunch with bookshop, the long apéritif before a galerie opening on rue Mazarine, and the dinner that runs into the rue de Seine wine bars.
