In this entry of her Diary, Anais Nin records her trip to Sweden to read and lecture from two of her novels published there, then her return to the U.S. via Paris. She is in love with the small, intimate cafes and the personal, intimate conversations in which people in Paris engage.
She visits Sylvia Beach who owns the Shakespeare & Co. bookshop. She meets a friend at the Deux Magots cafe. She has lunch at the restaurant Paul on the Ile de la Cite. She walks alone the Seine and through the Left Bank. She sits at a cafe on the Place de la Contrescarpe. She walks between Place Clichy and Place Blanche and reads a review at the Moulin Rouge. She takes in an art exhibit on the walls under the bridge at Pont Neuf. She passes by the fountains at Rond Point. There is a concert playing in the Salle Gaveau where her father used to play.
Ahhhh, Paris in the spring.
