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.
-Ernest Hemingway to a friend, 1950

I am currently sitting in a small Left Bank apartment reading Hemingway reminiscing about living in a small Left Bank apartment when he was a few years younger than I am now. Eight decades later, the neighborhood feels familiar.
