,The taxi stopped in front of the Rotunda. No matter which cafe in Montparnasse you ask a taxi driver
to take you from the right bank of the river, they will always take you to the Rotonda," wrote Ernest Hemingway, a regular
visitor of the cozy cafe.
Evenings in Paris In the "Rotonda" bohemians gathered: painters, artists, poets and writers.
Francis Scott Fitzgerald and James
Joyce sat under the mirrors blackened by time and tobacco smoke, and at the next table Jean-Paul Sartre, from time to time biting the tip of a pencil, he wrote his thoughts.
Argued about composition, about form, about color, new art was born, died and reborn here.
It was the only place where women could smoke freely on the terrace, that's why you could always meet Elsa
Schiaparelli or Coco Chanel there, even Marlene Dietrich liked to run in there to find out the latest rumors. with her friends Paul Eliard, Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso.

All of them were friends or lovers, inspired and immersed in that exciting, carefree time in a fast-changing world.

in the cream circles of New York society - Dorothy Parker, Cecil Beaton, and Fred Astaire and Charlie Chaplin
had unsuccessfully fought for a place in her heart.
But it was here, in Paris, that Lee Miller found her main calling in life. Thanks to the surrealist artist
Man Ray, the charming blonde turned from a successful model to a person standing on the other side of the camera. That
girl from the cover of Vogue started her own life in photography, being mistaken for one of the greatest photo artists,
changing the fashionable cap for a military helmet with the inscription «press» at the decisive moment.
The legendary photo correspondent who has captured quite a few shocking and terrible war scenes, however, one of the
most famous shots is a photo of herself, Lee Miller.
The photo shows a woman in a bath. Her heavy, dusty ankle boots are covered in mud from the
liberated Dachau concentration camp the day before, where she worked the first half of the day. Naked Lee literally washes off the horrors of war from his body in the bath
. There would be nothing special about this photograph unless it was
Adolf Hitler's bath, April 30, 1945.
