Washington Irving stayed here in 1805.
Sherwood Anderson stayed here in 1921 when he arrived in France, and recommended the place to Hemingway.
His regular eating place at the beginning was the Restaurant of the Pré aux Clercs, at the corner of Rue Jacob and Rue Bonaparte, one block east.
On Christmas Day, 1921, Hemingway and Hadley walked down Rue Bonaparte and crossed the Seine to the Café de la Paix on Ave de l'Opéra for lunch.
The first apartment Hadley found for Ernest and herself, in January 1922, was at 74 Rue du Cardinal-Lemoine (5th), between the Sorbonne and the Faculté des Sciences.
One of the cafés Hemingway frequented was the Café des Amateurs, around the corner on Rue Mouffetard.
