Jardin du Luxembourg (Musée du Luxembourg)

On days without money for lunch, Hemingway crosses the Luxembourg gardens, where nothing reminds him of food, and goes into the Musée du Luxembourg to look at the Cézannes, which he feels he understands better when hungry. The paintings he studied are now at the Musée d'Orsay; the museum hosts exhibitions and the garden walks are unchanged.
