Description
- Like many establishments of the Paris of 1648, it serves watered wine and fresh straw to travelers from the Midi. It does not ask too many questions, but it is known to those who have been in the quarter a long time.
- It has low rooms with soot-black beams and a courtyard where horses wait tied to a ring.
History
In the first months of the Fronde it served as an involuntary stopover for several displaced people, who came to Paris on some business and could not leave because barricades or cold closed the roads. Unplanned conversations began there.
Madeline Boulet knows the establishment, or knows someone who does.
