Walking Paris with Henry Miller

Café de la Liberté »

This is not a blog in the ordinary sense of the word…

No, this is a guided walking tour, with sketches and asides and whatever else I come up with, following the steps of Henry Miller through Paris in the 1930’s.

If you’re a Miller fan traveling to Paris, the information in this blog will make it easy to find your way to the places he describes in Tropic of Cancer, Quiet Days in Clichy and other books with the relevant textual references close to hand.

Our first walk will cover the neighborhood of Montparnasse. There isn’t any content yet, but keep checking back or subscribe to the RSS feed and I’ll flesh things out in semi-regular installments.

Excellent site. An easy and possible good addition would be the Place Dupleix (15eme arrondissement), near the Eiffel Tower, where HM stayed with Osborn/Fillmore, and where the last part of Cancer happens.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the suggestion. I do plan to write a post on Osborne’s apartment. I’ve fallen behind on my blogging schedule lately, but for the moment, I can offer a photo of the building Osborne and Miller lived in at 2 rue Auguste Bartholdi (their apartment was on the top floor - roof level).
