“This afternoon I’m upstairs at the Flore, near the window; I can see the wet street, the plane trees swaying in the sharp wind; there are a lot of people, and downstairs there’s a great hubbub.” ~Simone de Beauvoir
It really is quite blustery out, but the first floor (the French second floor) is cozy and quiet.
