Simone de Beauvoir was born above the Café de la Rotonde in Paris in 1908
Royal-Bretagne
The writer Simone de Beauvoir spent the academic year of 1936-1937 based at the hotel then named Royal-Bretagne living there with Sartre when he was in Paris at No. 11bis. Today, this art-deco hotel has another name and looks more upmarket than it did in the 1930s.
Nearly opposite De Beauvoir’s hotel was the famous Bobino music hall at No. 20, sadly demolished in 1985 and turned into a Mercure hotel with a new Bobino now at the back. De Beauvoir and Sartre saw two singers there in 1932, singing anarchist and anti-militarist songs.
Le Dôme
Location: 108 Boulevard du Montparnasse, 75014 Paris.
Simone de Beauvoir en Jean-Paul Sartre maakten het tot hun hoofdkwartier. Ze gebruikte er het ontbijt, werkte in een box achterin het café. Vreemdelingen uit allerlei landen discussieerden er met elkaar. Modellen, vrouwelijke artiesten, meisjes die door de een of ander werden onderhouden. Er ontstond een soort zwijgende band tussen ons en de andere stamgasten. De bloei van het Leven blz. 280.

HOTEL MISTRAL
After being released from his prisoner-of-war status in 1940, Sartre returned to the Hotel Mistral, where de Beauvoir also moved back to. In 1941 the first meeting of the intellectual resistance group, ‘Socialism and Freedom’ (Socialisme et Liberté), was held in Simone de Beauvoir’s room.
In 1942 Simone de Beauvoir was staying at the Hôtel d’Aubusson, also at No. 33, when she was forced out of teaching. The left/existentialist intellectual bar, Le Tabou, that had been the Bar vert in the Rue Jacob was reopened in the basement by Juliette Greco for rehearsals in 1946 before opening to the public the following year.
Outside No. 7 there is a plaque on the wall. This is where in 1937 Picasso painted Guernica in his roof-top studio for the Spanish Republic’s hall in that year’s Paris International Exhibition. In vain Picasso left a will stating that the work would only be returned to Spain when it was again a Republic. leftinparis/de-beauvoir
Hotel Louisiana
Robert Doisneau, Paris, 1950 / St Germain des Prés - Hotel La Louisiane (Rue de Seine)
Hotel La Lousiane is a hotel on Rue de Seine in Paris, France. Constructed in 1823 by a former
officer in Napoleon’s army, the hotel later became a home base to jazz musicians and writers
beginning in the 1920s. Ernest Hemingway, Antoine de Saint Exupery, Jean-Paul Sartre (room 10),
Simone de Beauvoir (room 68), Henri Miller and many more.
"I'd never lodged anywhere that fulfilled my dreams as that place did; I would have happily stayed
there for the rest of my life. At the other end of the corridor, Sartre had a tiny room where he lived
in a state of asceticism that never ceased to shock his visitors: he didn't even have any books."
In the spring of '44, when the Allies landed in Normandy, some of the hotel guests used to go
and sunbathe on the roof terrace. "I couldn't bear the hot sun beating down on the hard cement, "
wrote Beauvoir, "but in the evenings, I liked to go up there and sit and read or chat. "

The expressways tore into the neighborhoods, knocking down the building on Wabansia where he spent his most productive years.
When Simone de Beauvoir first visited Chicago in 1947, she called on author Nelson Algren, who lived just down the street from St. Stan’s at 1532 West Wabansia. Her impression of his home:
nelson-algrens-last-residenceHe lived in a hovel, without a bathroom or a refrigerator, alongside an alley full of steaming trash cans and flapping newspapers; this poverty seemed refreshing, after the heavy odour of the dollars in the big hotels and the elegant restaurants, which I found hard to take. rostenkowski-curve
