If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

 Street made famous in Hemingway's A Moveable Feast because of the residency of Gertrude Stein.
The 6th Arrondissement captured in one photo: old-world, traditional, academic, literary, exclusive.
