While other quarters are known for their palaces and churches, Montparnasse (named after a 17th-century gravel mound since removed) has cafe and bars for its landmarks, most of them along the Boulevard du the Closerie des Lilas; the Select, a Henry Miller hang-out; the Coupole, favorite of Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir; the D??me; and the Rotonde.
The Coupole was frequented by Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir.
The local coverage in our small town is excellent, while the national news that we see is pretty good too.
