Chez Duplay

[livviebway.livejournal.com]

My first day living in Paris and the first thing I did was make a little side trip to la Maison Duplay.  The plaque is still in fine shape, the patisserie Les Délices de Manon is still going strong next door.  There was a man from Les Délices who noticed me standing there looking up at the plaque and said I could go inside the courtyard, so I did.  It was all alone in there and it was so quiet.  The courtyard opens onto a giant window for the restaurant of Les Délices de Manon, so I spent some time contemplating the metaphysical space of the Duplays' living room.

I remember in the book The Way of the Tumbrils there was a little map of the courtyard, and maybe in some other books as well?  I was wondering if anyone had a map so I could orient myself a little more when I inevitably head back.
