I thought they had a really nice apartment, and that was then as now a pretty upscale neighborhood, close to the Ségur and Sèvres-Lecourbe metro stops. Also, Walt talks about going to your chambre de bonne that year.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-65721787086909308422013-07-08T00:13:50.300+02:002013-07-08T00:13:50.300+02:00Few things are better with a glass of wine than th...Few things are better with a glass of wine than the olives they serve in France.
