00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,520
T̨HE WORLD'S BIGGEST MUSEUM
2
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,320
Hello everyone.
3
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:39,440
Saint-Germain-des-Prés literary cafes
are not quite like other cafes.
\N
\N
4
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,960
They have more soul and
that's what's made them world famous.
\N
\N
5
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,880
We'll use three examples to show you
the historic reasons for this.
6
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,600
The oldest of these cafes,
Le Procope, of course,
7
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,880
and two legendary cafes:
Les Deux Magots and Le Café de Flore.
8
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,040
Off we go.
9
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,640
PHILOSOPHERS AND WRITERS
10
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,960
FOUNDED IN 1686
11
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,440
I have the immense pleasure
to be meeting Philippe Tisson.
12
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,600
It's very nice of you to come here
to this legendary place.
13
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,240
Before we talk about it,
I have a crucial question:
14
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,480
What is a literary cafe?
15
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:32,080
Basically, it's a cafe
where people discuss literature.
16
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,640
They have become part of history.
17
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,080
They are cafes where
writers, artists, bohemians, students
18
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,760
and intellectuals usually meet up.
19
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,960
They renew the concept
of the salon,
20
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,360
the aristocratic salons that only
a number of insiders had access to.
21
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,360
Anyone can come here
and try to put the world to rights.
22
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Yes, literary cafes belong
to the people.
23
00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:02,000
They are different to what
literary salons are to the aristocracy.
24
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,000
They're not places for small talk,
but for exchanging intellectual curiosity.
\N
\N
25
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,680
Where ideas progress.
\N
\N
26
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,320
That being said,
we need to put it into perspective.
\N
\N
27
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,840
They weren't local bistros.
\N
\N
28
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
Is it true that this was the first?
\N
\N
29
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,080
Yes, it was the first big literary cafe.
\N
\N
30
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:25,040
It was owned by a very clever Italian,
a very sophisticated Sicilian.
31
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,320
He was called Procopio
and he came over from Italy and thought:
32
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,080
"I'm going to combine
the cafe and literature
33
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,040
"to create a large literary cafe
34
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,440
"in a neighborhood with a lot
of artists, intellectuals and students."
35
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,640
Procopio had
an incredible stroke of luck,
36
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:49,000
because he'd barely finished
renovating this place,
37
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,200
when the most famous troupe in France
moved in opposite.
38
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,480
The guy thought: "It's a miracle."
39
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,160
So, immediately,
the Comédie theater opens
40
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:05,200
and all the actors and writers we know,
like Racine and La Fontaine,
41
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,960
attract people
and the Gazette talks about the place,
42
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,760
and it's an instant success.
43
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,520
There's a second
stroke of luck or miracle.
44
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,200
It's the beginning of the 18th century
45
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,720
and there's a fabulous intellectual
movement called "Encyclopedism."
46
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,200
What do the encyclopedists do?
They come here.
47
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,240
Diderot, d'Alembert and Voltaire,
who adored this place.
48
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,320
He adored it here
and referred to it as his "den."
49
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,640
They all lived within walking distance.
50
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,240
It was
an intellectual neighborhood.
51
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,720
I imagine that these literary cafes were
prolific places during the Revolution.
52
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,600
Robespierre and Danton came here.
53
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,080
Marat's print works were just next door.
54
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,040
From the 1830s,
the romantics started coming here,
55
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,600
as did Victor Hugo and George Sand,
who lived in the neighborhood.
56
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,760
Time goes by,
and the great trend of literary cafes
57
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,920
in the narrowest sense,
and Le Procope, is over.
58
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,320
Marc, I'd like you to go up
to the Salon Marat
59
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,120
and prepare the table
for the Friends of Rimbaud group.
60
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:41,760
OK.
- Go ahead.
61
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,440
Are you Gilles?
- Yes, hello.
62
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,160
Thanks for welcoming us
into this historic house.
63
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,920
In this third millennium,
is any of the literary spirit left
64
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,200
in this house where
poets and intellectuals spent time?
65
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,080
Is it still relevant?
66
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,320
We still organize
annual literary awards.
67
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,800
For ten years, the Express Bestsellers
have been held at Le Procope.
68
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,880
SEE YOU SOON FOR THE MILLENNIUM PARTY
69
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,840
The far left Jean Zay awards
are held here every year,
\N
\N
70
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,120
as are the Black Comedy awards
and many others.
71
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,720
We are obliged to, as the house is
so connected to literature
72
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,280
that we can't not organize
literary awards here.
73
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,720
Thanks, Gilles.
- My pleasure.
74
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:31,800
Where can I find the Salon Rousseau?
- It's this way.
75
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,640
Go ahead.
Have a good day, bye.
76
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Hello, Claude Sarraute.
- Hello, dear.
77
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,480
How are you?
- I'm delighted to bump into you.
78
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,240
I kind of knew that you were here.
It's not just by chance.
79
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,040
You have a bit of a routine here.
80
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,000
It's a very convenient restaurant
for me,
81
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,880
because I'm always at the Odéon cinema.
You can see any film you want there.
82
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,160
I go to a 5 or 6 o'clock showing,
83
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,880
and I automatically come and have dinner
here at my table, number 31.
84
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,320
I ignore everything,
even the Voltaire table.
\N
\N
\N
85
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,920
Here's something
that struck me historically.
\N
\N
86
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,560
When you arrive here after the cinema,
you always need to go to the loo.
87
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,560
On the men's loo it says "male citizen"
and on the ladies', "female citizen."
88
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,720
It's just a charade,
because who cared about that in 1685?
89
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,040
I still like it, though.
90
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,080
Were you a literary cafe customer
back in the day?
91
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,520
No, never.
92
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,600
You didn't even want to sit
on the terrace of the place to be seen?
93
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,520
You're forgetting
that I'm Nathalie Sarraute's daughter.
94
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Nathalie Sarraute was
very close friends with Sartre.
95
00:07:54,680 --> 00:08:00,000
Even to the extent that
he wrote the preface to her second book.
96
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,800
She published the first one
just before the War,
97
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,320
and he wrote the preface of her second,
Portrait of a Man Unknown.
98
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,920
And she was fired by
the horrible Simone de Beauvoir.
99
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Shall I tell you what happened
when I interviewed Sartre?
100
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,680
I turn up with my pen and notepad.
101
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,120
He's sat there and I'm opposite.
102
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,040
I'm noting down what he says
and hiding my gaze like this.
103
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:31,080
He was so ugly with big bulging eyes
that turned inwards and rolled around.
104
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,400
And she's standing
behind her chair like a magistrate
105
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:38,040
throughout the whole course
of the interview.
106
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,120
I must point out
that I was very pretty.
107
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,000
Here comes Gérard Bonal,
108
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,640
writer
and Saint-Germain-des-Prés expert.
109
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,680
How cute is it meeting
at Saint-Germain-des-Prés Metro!
110
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,480
Every time I come here, I'm moved
when I think of all that's happened here.
111
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,560
Let's look at the 20th century
and the first years of the 1900s.
112
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,480
Is Saint-Germain the place to be?
Is it a hip place?
\N
\N
113
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,920
Maybe not the place to be,
\N
\N
114
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,800
but something is starting
to happen there.
\N
\N
115
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,680
For example, here,
on the first floor of the Café de Flore,
116
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,120
this is where Charles Maurras
will establish Action Française,
117
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,600
which, during the first half
of the 20th century,
118
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,960
will spread right-wing ideas
throughout France.
119
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,040
In 1903?
- That's right.
120
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,640
Gradually, throughout the 20th century,
\N
\N
121
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,680
we'll see different categories
of writers gathering,
\N
\N
122
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,160
like the surrealists, who went
to Les Deux Magots in the 1930s.
123
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,840
I'm very surprised, because
I was sure that, in the 1920s and 1930s,
124
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,520
it was all happening
500 meters away in Montparnasse.
125
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,080
The phenomenon that started
in Montparnasse after World War I,
126
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,720
will gradually work its way
along Rue de Rennes,
127
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,960
finally arriving
at Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
128
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,120
Jacques Prévert, with the October Group,
129
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,280
his working theater company,
will move into the Café de Flore,
130
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,280
and gradually,
actors and directors will join them.
131
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,720
And that's how, around 1937,
everything is in place
132
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,160
for Saint-Germain-des-Prés to become
trendy in terms of literature and art.
133
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,320
When 1940 arrives,
the Germans are very worried
134
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,080
about making friends
with French intelligentsia,
135
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,080
with Otto Abetz, etc.
136
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,400
Will they take Saint-Germain by storm?
137
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:49,280
Will it be a place
of intellectual collaboration?
138
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,360
No. At the Flore, you don't see a single
German throughout the Occupation.
139
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,920
One day, as Simone de Beauvoir tells it,
a German enters.
140
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,920
A terrible silence falls over the cafe
and, after a few minutes,
141
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,400
the poor guy,
if I dare call him that, leaves again.
142
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:10,000
All the witnesses from back then,
including Mouloudji, say
143
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,440
that there weren't any Germans here
in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
144
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,840
There were some, of course,
but it wasn't like at Le Dôme.
145
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,960
That's one of the reasons why
Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir
146
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,400
will leave Le Dôme
at the start of the Occupation.
147
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,920
Le Dôme in Vavin?
- In Vavin, Montparnasse.
148
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,800
Le Dôme is chock full of Germans,
or "gray mice" and it's unbearable.
149
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,120
So they quit.
150
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,040
People come to Saint-Germain-des-Prés
to avoid the feldgrau uniforms.
151
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,080
Exactly!
152
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,320
Are there any differences
between these two world-famous cafes?
153
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,200
Do their patrons speak to one another?
154
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,920
It's often the same patrons,
so they do speak.
155
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,640
There are some very strange things.
There are particular traditions.
156
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,560
Simone de Beauvoir used to say
that the Flore had its traditions.
157
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,280
For example, at the Flore,
when you enter, you don't greet anybody.
158
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,880
Everybody knows each other,
there are no hellos,
159
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,400
you just sit down at a table
and so it goes on.
160
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:07,000
On the other hand, if a Flore regular
comes to Les Deux Magots
161
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,760
and meets another Flore regular there,
they greet one another and chat.
162
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:16,000
Jean-Paul Sartre said that it's like
when French people meet abroad.
163
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,040
Why are the existentialists there
every day?
164
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,760
They must have homes to go to.
They could work in an attic or anywhere.
165
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,840
It's not that simple.
They're all staying in local hotels,
166
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,480
notably the Louisiane on Rue de Seine,
167
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,920
the main meeting point
of all the Saint-Germain-des-Prés folk.
168
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,440
Sartre, de Beauvoir, Gréco, Vian
and Mouloudji all end up staying there.
169
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,000
They're not at home
as France is under Occupation.
170
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,480
They have no heating
and are shivering at home
171
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,360
and so they also come
to the Café de Flore to keep warm.
172
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:56,240
The owner of the Flore,
Paul Boubal, has a bright idea.
173
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,200
Just before the War,
he had a big wood-burner installed.
174
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,040
It will provide heat
for all these people who have nothing,
175
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,720
because people are freezing cold
during the winters of the Occupation.
176
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,960
In Saint-Germain-des-Prés, people
will spend entire afternoons at the Flore
177
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,920
with a coffee, a cup of Oxo
or a substitute tea in front of them,
178
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,240
but they're warm.
179
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,920
"I endeavored to arrive at opening time
to get the best place
180
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,440
"next to the wood-burner's pipes
where it was warmest."
181
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,720
THE PRIME OF LIFE
182
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,080
It's on the Flore and Les Deux Magots
pedestal tables
183
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,360
where Jean-Paul Sartre will
write Being and Nothingness and No Exit.
184
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,400
This is where Simone de Beauvoir
will write Pyrrhus and Cineas.
185
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:41,480
So many things happen here.
It's a real intellectual hive.
186
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,160
There are no more tomorrows
187
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,840
in Saint-Germain-des-Prés
188
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,960
No more days after tomorrow
No more afternoons
189
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,440
There's only today...
190
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,600
Hello, Philippe.
- Hello.
191
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,480
It's Philippe Vandel under that helmet.
- Hello.
192
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,920
One day you said that
this little cafe is your second home.
193
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,440
Is the brash literary cafe spirit
still alive?
194
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,480
Or is it now just like any other cafe?
195
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,440
No, it's not an old ladies' cafe,
it's a real literary cafe.
196
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,120
The Flore prize
has been around for 15 years
197
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,200
and does a lot
to keep the spirit alive.
198
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,840
Lots of writers are here for that.
199
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,600
The prize was founded
by jury member Beigbeder 15 years ago
200
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,680
to reward authors who nearly all
represent modern day literature.
201
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,480
Houellebecq, people like Nicolas Rey
and Virginie Despentes,
\N
\N
202
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,080
who almost won the prize
one year earlier,
\N
\N
203
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,360
but her book was called Rape Me
204
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,240
and Miroslav didn't want "Rape Me"
plastered all over the windows.
205
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,320
She didn't win, but she did a year later
with Les Chiennes savantes.
206
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,680
What you're telling me is
the opposite of what many people say.
207
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,520
They say that this brash
Saint-Germain-des-Prés spirit has gone.
208
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,600
Not at all! It's still the same.
Some places stand firm and are full of it.
209
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,360
There are places where people ponder
and exchange ideas.
210
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,880
The criticism that some friends have
about literature
211
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,320
is that the Saint-Germain-des-Prés spirit
is not brash anymore
212
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,760
and people are just
Saint-Germain-des-Prés literary bigwigs.
213
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,720
I don't agree. If there's still one place
where they break the rules
214
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,360
and accept sentences without verbs,
it's at the Flore.
215
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,880
What kind of people hang out
in a place like this?
216
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,400
Rich, poor, young, old.
People from all walks of life.
217
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,120
That's what I like.
There are tourists who are lost,
218
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,040
regulars, people meeting up,
people who hate each other.
219
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,040
Lots of things are
left unsaid or implied.
220
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,640
Isabelle Adjani might be here
but people never bother her.
221
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,360
That's why she comes here.
Even famous people don't chat together
222
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,080
unless they're authorized
by a third party.
223
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Anywhere else in Paris, if you're alone
at a table, people take pity on you.
224
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,800
Here, it's the done thing.
- Totally.
225
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,600
Thanks a lot, Philippe.
- Thanks. I'll be on my way.
226
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,480
Now let's go meet the owner, Miroslav.
227
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,680
Here's the boss.
Hello, Miroslav.
228
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,640
How are you?
- Very well.
229
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,200
This is one of the rare places
where the owners are just as famous
230
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,480
as the visitors.
231
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,120
There was one called Boubal.
- What an extraordinary character.
232
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,440
Why is the magic here and not elsewhere?
There must be some jealousy.
\N
\N
233
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:56,120
I don't want anything to change.
We do a great a facelift.
234
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,360
When we repaired the broken mosaics,
235
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,760
we closed for a week
236
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,600
and when we reopened,
237
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,000
people said: "Why did you close?
You haven't done anything."
238
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,320
CAFE OWNER
\N
\N
239
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,680
That's the best compliment.
\N
\N
240
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,880
The former owner, Paul Boubal,
\N
\N
241
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,640
always told me:
"Don't change a thing."
242
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Are there still people who come here and
ask you: "Where was Jean-Paul Sartre?"
243
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,440
Or Simone de Beauvoir.
- Does that happen?
244
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,800
Oh yes, all the time.
So, what does the waiter do?
245
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,560
He shows them an empty table!
246
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,880
Who are the best people you've met here?
247
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,280
Meeting a beautiful woman
like Sharon Stone made an impact on me.
248
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,720
A journalist friend was with her
249
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,800
and she introduced us:
"Miroslav, this is Sharon Stone."
250
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,080
I kissed my friend
251
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,000
and Sharon Stone said:
"Don't I get a kiss?"
252
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,640
I was quite taken aback.
253
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:13,120
Thanks a lot, Miroslav.
- See you soon, my friend.
254
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,040
Time to meet Philippe.
255
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,120
Hello there, in the rain.
- Hello, Eric.
256
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:35,480
We're in Rue Visconti,
quite an important local street.
257
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,640
Near the literary cafes
and Le Procope.
258
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,880
It's normal that the literary cafes
opened in this neighborhood
259
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:46,600
because lots of writers lived here,
the most famous being Racine,
260
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,160
who lived here for seven years,
until his death.
261
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,720
He died here on Rue Visconti.
262
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,240
It was either at number 21 or number 24.
263
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,800
Were there no numbers on buildings then?
- No, not at all.
264
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,640
RACINE DIED HERE
APRIL 21ST 1699
265
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,280
Others lived here.
Mérimée lived here in the 19th century.
266
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,000
And then there was
Balzac's famous print works,
267
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,160
that went on to become
Delacroix's workshop, which is here.
268
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,160
It was Balzac's printing workshop.
269
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,000
He wanted to be in business
but never succeeded in his ambition,
270
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,320
and he set up a kind of print works
where he made advertising leaflets.
\N
\N
271
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,960
Where the plaque is?
- Yes.
272
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:26,960
LOCATION OF
BALZAC'S PRINTING WORKS
273
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:31,400
This is where he set up his
print works between 1826 and 1828.
274
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,240
Balzac was no Bill Gates.
275
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,720
He wasn't exactly
Richard Branson or Alan Sugar.
276
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,320
It was cobbled together, but nice.
277
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Here we are at 31 Rue de Seine.
278
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,520
It's all written above the door:
George Sand.
279
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,160
George Sand was a real nomad.
280
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,960
She changed apartments every six months.
281
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:58,520
HOME OF GEORGE SAND AND
WHERE RAYMOND DUNCAN CREATED THE ACADEMY
282
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,800
She adapted her furnishings to suit
her love life and sexual preferences.
283
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,120
Let's continue.
284
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,480
We're 50 meters away
from Beaux-Arts and Rue Bonaparte.
285
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,160
That's another legendary place.
- Yes, legendary and tragic.
286
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,760
This is the hotel
where Oscar Wilde wound up.
287
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,720
He'd been released from prison
three years earlier.
288
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,120
He'd shown up in France
in a terrible psychological state.
289
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,480
OSCAR WILDE, POET AND PLAYWRIGHT,
DIED HERE
290
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,240
He died here in November 1900.
291
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,640
You can imagine the decline
of this tremendous writer.
292
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,560
When I walk past, I'm always moved.
293
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Many writers lived in this neighborhood,
in almost every building.
294
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,520
Duras lived here at 5 Rue Saint-Benoît
for almost 50 years.
295
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,400
Opposite there was a hotel,
whose name I've forgotten,
296
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,840
where Jacques Prévert lived
during the War.
297
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,520
Every house holds a literary memory.
298
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,120
You follow the streets and
you always arrive in a central location
299
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,800
which is the literary cafe where
all these people from each era met up
300
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,480
to chat, drink and exchange ideas.
It's wonderful.
301
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,600
What's great is,
it still goes on today.
302
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,440
How are you, Raymond?
- I'm fine. Same as ever.
303
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,040
I'm delighted to be here
in this legendary place.
304
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,280
You've been here a while, haven't you?
- Around 30 years.
305
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,320
Do I detect an Aveyron accent?
- Exactly!
306
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,000
This lobby belongs
to the people of Aveyron.
307
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,040
They corner the lemonade market in Paris.
- Indeed.
308
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,440
You must have had some fabulous
customers and experiences here.
309
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,440
Yes, but I can't tell you everything.
- Just one or two stories.
310
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,080
A customer came here one New Year's Eve.
311
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,000
He was waiting for a woman and they were
going to spend the evening together.
312
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,600
At 1:30 AM,
after he'd been here since 8 PM...
313
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,160
She didn't show.
- No, she didn't.
314
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,600
He asked me if I was married
and I said: "Yes."
315
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,360
He says: "Wait five minutes."
316
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,400
He goes to his car
and comes back with a fur coat.
317
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,480
It was meant for the love of his life
who didn't show?
318
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,880
Exactly!
319
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:39,840
WAITER
\N
\N
320
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,640
I was a little surprised
and I didn't really know what to do.
\N
\N
321
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,280
I spoke to the manager and he said:
"If he's offering it to you, take it."
322
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,000
So, I took it.
323
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,600
Thanks a lot,
Raymond with the French moustache.
324
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,560
Forever a custodian of French tradition.
- Absolutely!
325
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,160
Thanks, Eric.
- Goodbye.
326
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,760
Hello, Catherine Mathivat.
- Hello.
327
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,960
You're the general manager
of this cafe.
328
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:22,440
You're the fourth generation
of your family to run this place.
329
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,400
That's right.
I'm lucky to have a great-grandfather
330
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,320
who bought
Les Deux Magots in 1914.
331
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,600
He used to be a waiter
near Gare de l'Est,
332
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,920
in another neighborhood entirely.
333
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,800
He crossed the Seine and had the chance
to buy this place in 1914.
334
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,960
Is it a literary cafe
or just an ordinary Parisian bistro?
335
00:23:42,120 --> 00:23:46,760
Quite a lot of writers and artists
met here: Verlaine, Rimbaud...
336
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,760
Your great-grandfather...
- Got to know them.
337
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,920
He was just a simple waiter
in a cafe near Gare de l'Est.
338
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,320
When he buys this place,
he's not just buying any old bistro.
339
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,720
He's buying a place
that's already in the Paris equation.
340
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:08,360
Yes, a place that is
part of Parisian cultural history.
341
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,680
CAFE MANAGER
\N
\N
342
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,680
They gradually try
to perpetuate this literary tradition.
\N
\N
343
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,680
The years go by, and in 1933,
344
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,480
a group of journalists
and writers meet up here regularly
345
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,840
and, on the same day
that Malraux wins the Goncourt prize,
346
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,200
they decide to have
their own literary prize.
347
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:34,920
Without hesitation,
they send out the message
348
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,720
with their decision
that Raymond Queneau will win
349
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,280
the first ever Deux Magots prize
in 1933 for Le Chiendent
350
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,240
When it's announced by the press
the following morning,
351
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,840
my great-grandfather says:
"From now on, Les Deux Magots
352
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,680
"will sponsor this literary prize."
353
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,080
You're great-grandfather was smart.
354
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:02,280
So, since 1933, the prize is awarded
to a writer every year.
355
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,800
We have a well-known list
of prize winners.
356
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,840
Some books also end up
being turned into movies.
357
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,560
Like Touchez pas au grisbi,
One Deadly Summer or The Story of O.
358
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,800
So, Touchez pas au grisbi...
- It won the Deux Magots prize in 1953.
\N
\N
359
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,080
So, the location, the service
\N
\N
360
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:25,200
and the literary soul
are attached to the place.
361
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:27,800
Thanks, Catherine.
- Thanks a lot.
362
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,960
The 70th Deux Magots prize
is awarded to Bernard Chapuis
363
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:51,440
for his book, Le rêve entouré d'eau.
364
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,800
Of course, some of the intellectuals
who rule Saint-Germain-des-Prés,
365
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,840
who are nostalgic for bygone times,
366
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,040
have decided that
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is over
367
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,040
and that now,
it's all about clothes.
368
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,920
They're not completely wrong.
369
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,400
Although,
we can also consider that today,
370
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,080
even if Maurras, Breton, Sartre
and de Beauvoir are no longer with us,
371
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,920
it's full of new writers here.
372
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,440
Nicolas Rey, Beigbeder and
Bernard-Henri Lévy hang out here.
373
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,200
There's a new generation.
374
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:35,800
Thanks for watching the show.
