We did visit one afternoon while in Paris Harry' New York bar which according to legend is one o 2 bars that Ernest Hemingway frequented when he lived in Paris. As the story goes, one bar Hemingway frequented when he had money and the other when he was short on funds. Harry's was the one he frequented when he had little $$. Anyway, We had drinks at Harry's and took time to reflect on Hemingway's legacy. Small bar with many college banners and Hemingway pics about the walls.

Allen;
The Ritz Hotel in Paris was frequented By Hemingway many times in his life. He had several trunks stored in the basement for many years. The Ritz hotel has been under a two year renovation, with the hotel completely closed. Did by chance did you get close enough to see if the hotel had reopened?? or if they had an opening date? I did enjoy this thread, and the comments on your trip.Thanks
David
