Le Dôme Café

The legendary Le Dôme Café of Montparnasse; located just around the corner from the Eiffel Tower was the meeting place of intellectuals and left bank artists. I have read so much about Le Dôme with famous literary clientele of Ernest Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald, William Somerset Maugham with artists of Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst and Paul Gauguin - this was the place to be. Even leftist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin was apparently a regular there mixing with Dômiers at the so called Anglo-American café.
