Click on these picture postcards to enlarge.  The address above is where Oscar Wilde died. The Hotel des Beaux-Arts.

Allen Ginsberg,Jack Kerouac,William Burroughs,and Gregory Corso lived at this address which they called The Beat Hotel.

Henry Miller wrote a nice book called Quiet Days In Clichy.

There is a Hemingway bookstore next to this address today.
     I bought these postcards in small shop in the Rue Vavin some years ago. I can't seem to find them in Paris anymore. I had two others that I can remember. One for Andre Gide and one for Jean Paul Sartre. But I sent them to a friend.
