The plaque on the wall here reads: "From January 1922 to August 1923 has lived on the third floor of this building, with Hadley, his wife, the American writer Ernest Hemingway, 1899-1961. The neighborhood he loved above all was the true birthplace of his work and uncluttered style that characterizes it. The American in Paris maintained desrelations familiar with its neighbors, including the boss of the bal-musette attached. "... This was the Paris of our youth, at a time when we were very poor and very happy." Ernest Hemingway (Paris is a holiday). Association Memory Places."
