I went back to Paris to meet my Father, but we never actually arranged where or when. In the end, we missed each other so I wandered around and got to reminiscing. I was around 12 years old the first time I went to Paris with my Father. The square in front of Notra Dame was for parking. Many of my memories from Boulevard St Michele include the smells. This is before Greek restaurants replaced the Thai, Vietnamese Algerian and French restaurants along the tight streets, and the atmosphere was thick and noisy.

Harry's Bar, Paris France
