Lonely Planet review

With a legacy stretching back to Baudelaire, 'the Lilac Enclosure' is where Hemingway wrote much of The Sun Also Rises while he was living around the corner. Brass plaques tell you where he and luminaries such as Picasso, Apollinaire, Man Ray, Jean-Paul Sartre and Samuel Beckett imbibed. There's a lovely terrace and an upmarket restaurant.
