Grand Hôtel de l’Europe

Posted onJuly 15, 2020July 16, 20203 Comments

For those of us who arrive by train from central or southern Germany, this “grand” two-star hotel (grand being a French word for large) is conveniently located just half a block from the Gare de l’Est, i.e. the East Station. For a single room on the fifth floor I paid Read More …

In addition to their main auditorium with eight hundred seats on six different levels, the Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell in Paris also has a smaller hall in the basement with one hundred seats, called the Théâtre du Petit Gymnase. To get to this basement theater, you have to enter Read More …

Jacques Offenbach at the Gymnase

Posted onMay 10, 2019August 16, 20192 Comments

The Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell is one of the many theaters on the grands boulevards in Paris — and no doubt one of the oldest, having been built in the early 19th century and inaugurated in 1820. From the outside it doesn’t show its age, particularly, but inside it Read More …

Place de la République

Posted onApril 20, 2018May 20, 20183 Comments

It took me a while to realize that some of the most dreadfully over-motorized squares and circles in Paris were at places where three or four districts (arrondissements) come together. The Arch of Triumph, for instance, is at the place where the 8th, 16th and 17th arrondissements come together. The Read More …

Hôpital Saint-Louis

Posted onJanuary 7, 2018May 4, 20183 Comments

This large hospital complex bears a striking resemblance to the Place des Vosges, which is no wonder since it was built at the same time on orders of the same king, Henri IV, who personally inspected the plans, chose the architect and laid the cornerstone. The hospital was built from Read More …

Atmosphère, atmosphère . . .

Posted onMay 29, 2017January 19, 20198 Comments

If this scene looks familiar, it might be that you have seen the 1938 film Hôtel du Nord by Marcel Carné (or snippets of it on the internet) and recognize this as the place where Arletty delivered her now-famous line about “atmosphère”. Actually she didn’t say it here at all, Read More …

Hôtel du Nord: the place, the book and the film

Posted onApril 16, 2017July 17, 20205 Comments

The novel L’Hôtel du Nord by Eugène Dabit (1898-1936) tells the story of a working-class couple — the author’s parents, in fact — who ran a small working-class hotel in the 1920s on the left bank of the Canal Saint-Martin in Paris. The author kept the real first names of Read More …
