He signed letters written to friends and family back in England: “Charles Dickens, Français naturalisé, et Citoyen de Paris” His son, Henry Dickens, wrote: “He [Chas.Dickens] had a very strong love of his country, though he himself used to say, laughingly, that his sympathies were so much with the French that he ought to have been born a Frenchman.” Dickens made more than twenty trips to Paris, sometimes staying for three or four months at a time; the French loved him and packed his public readings, even though most did not understand a word he said. He also liked to get away by himself and “go native” in Boulogne-Sur-Mer and Condette.<br /><br /><b>He stopped in Paris in 1844 on his way to Italy and here is what he wrote about his view from Le Meurice:</b><br /><br /> “At Paris, I took an upper apartment for a few days in one of the hotels [Le Meurice] of the Rue de Rivoli: my front windows looking into the garden of the Tuileries (where the principal difference between the nursemaids and the flowers seemed to be that the former were locomotive and the latter were not)…”<br />He would sometimes have to stay in other hotels whilst in Paris, but the vast majority of his correspondence covering a twenty-five year period comes from Le Meurice.<br />I highly recommend this book if you are interested in learning more:<br /> http://www.amazon.com/Dickens-France-John-Edmondson/dp/1566566886/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1252421408&sr=1-1Chasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-36010097287258111602009-09-08T11:09:50.624-04:002009-09-08T11:09:50.624-04:00I went shopping there and I think this is for you....I went shopping there and I think this is for you...<br /> <br />Macaron USB Key 1GB<br /><br />Price: €70Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-69483615839424070772009-09-08T11:08:50.771-04:002009-09-08T11:08:50.771-04:00Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

What a coincidence! ...Good morning, Carol-<br /> What a coincidence! I am at work on a novel re. Charles Dickens and was looking yesterday for your Hotel Meurice post from last year (found it, by the way) and here is this one today. Did you know Le Meurice was Dickens’s favorite hotel? He stayed there for weeks at a time from the mid 1850s through the 1860s. Somewhere in his travel writings he gives a lovely description of the view from his suite overlooking the Jardin des Tuileries. I will look for it and sent it.<br />Yours faithfully,<br />ChasChasnoreply@blogger.com
