A Moveable Feast · Place in the book
74 Rue du Cardinal Lemoine
In the story · The early chapters: home with Hadley
Ernest and Hadley's first Paris home, from January 1922 to August 1923: a two-room flat up a steep staircase, with no hot water and a toilet on the landing. Much of the early book starts and ends here, with walks down to the river and back up the hill. A plaque marks the building.
