Appendix-Appendix: Paris
From Notre-Dame to the Panthéon
Looking from the towers of Notre-Dame toward the southwest, into the Latin Quarter
and the 5th arrondissement, the dome of the Panthéon predominates.

Originally a church, it now encloses the tombs of Victor Hugo, Émile Zola, Voltaire,
and scores of other notable Frenchmen (and, more recently, women)
whom the Republics have considered worthy of the honor.
Pappy couldn’t wait to show us a student-style eating place in the neighborhood of the Panthéon. Can’t say it really became a favorite of ours, and I’ve had a hard time imagining Mammy there.

You entered through a door on one street and left onto another. A bar ran the length of the narrow establishment; you sat on the farthest unoccupied stool and then moved down, to the right, as earlier arrivals finished and departed. You got your baguettes from open shelves, replenished from behind, a meter or so above the bar. The young, male proprietors prepared bifteck frites and salad on the other side of the bar. They flirted impolitely with Valerie, who didn’t really enter into the spirit of the occasion.
