Paris from a literary café. - Douglas, the guide, has a huge amount of knowledge and was able to transmit it with ease. We started the visit at Contrescarpe then strolled through the surrounding streets, while discussing and discovering particularities around the writers who made this old part of Paris their place of fulfillment.
