Le Rostand
In the story · Quartier Latin segment (6e)
In the 'Quartier Latin' segment Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara, long separated, meet on this café terrace facing the Luxembourg gardens to sign their divorce papers and trade barbs, with co-director Gérard Depardieu as the patron. The brasserie's terrace still looks straight at the garden gates.
