One of my favorite hobbies when I am in Europe is to visit the houses where famous people once lived. From Proust to Mistinguett, Gertrude Stein, Jean Paul Sartre , Simone Beauvoir, Rodin, Camille Claudel...and the list is big. As a matter of fact once I stayed at the same room where Picasso and Jean Cocteau occupied at the Hotel Welcome in Villefranche-Sur-Mer!
