THE
'REAL' CAFE GUERBOIS
Taken from Jim Lane's Arty-Facts The address was number 11, Grande rue des Batignolles. Today it's a group of small shops, but in 1866, it was the Cafe Guerbois (pronounced gur-BWA). It was a noisy little place filled with marble-topped tables, cheap, metal chairs, smoke, a few paintings on the dark, paneled walls, a bar across one end of the room, and young mademoiselles taking orders and delivering drinks. During the day it was just another Paris street cafe serving light lunches, lemonade, coffee, tea, wine and presumably more potent beverages as the evening approached. It was then that the place came alive. It was the favorite hangout for the "arty" crowd, especially painters, and especially those painters who admired the work of Eduoard Manet.
