II.2.2. A LEFT-BANK OASIS EVOKES A RECENT PAST

MENU: 2.2.2. Left-bank oasis & recent past

TRACES OF GERTRUDE STEIN AND PICASSO REMAIN, BUT SUPERB SMALL BUSINESSES ARE GONE

Push open the grill to the parking lot, cross through what was once the rampart* and discover an oasis.

*Passage Dauphine, pierced in 1825 

 Back to 34 rue Mazarine


L'Heure gourmande
 22 passage Dauphine
A "salon de thé" too hidden for clients come by accident.

In brief
  • Gertrude Stein, classic movies, Picasso and no cars
  • Beloved dinky toys, collectors' items
  • "Simplicity reveals the slightest error"
  • End of a Japanese landmark
  • Evolution
