Les Deux Magots

Les Deux Magots (French pronunciation: ​[le dø maɡo]) is a famous café in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés area of Paris, France. It once had a reputation as the rendezvous of the literary and intellectual élite of the city. It is now a popular tourist destination. Its historical reputation is derived from the patronage of Surrealist artists, intellectuals such as Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, and young writers, such as Ernest Hemingway. Other patrons included Albert Camus, Pablo Picasso, James Joyce, Bertolt Brecht, Julia Child, and the American writers, James Baldwin, Chester Himes, Charles Sutherland, and Richard Wright.

The Deux Magots literary prize has been awarded to a French novel every year since 1933.

The name originally belonged to a fabric and novelty shop at nearby 23 Rue de Buci. The shop sold silk lingerie and took its name from a popular play of the moment (1800s) entitled Les Deux Magots de la Chine. Its two statues represent Chinese "mandarins," or "magicians" (and "alchemists," depending upon one's philosophical point of view), who gaze serenely over the room. These two oriental gentlemen are the source of the name for one of the great cultural landmark cafes of Saint-Germain des Pres. "Magot" literally means "stocky figurine from the Far East." In 1873, the business moved to its current location in the Place Saint-Germain-des-Prés. In 1884, the business changed to a café and liquoriste, keeping the name.

Auguste Boulay bought the business in 1914, when it was on the brink of bankruptcy, for 400,000 francs (anciens). The present manager, Catherine Mathivat, is his great-great-granddaughter.

Le Bal (arts centre)

Le Bal (arts centre)

Le Bal is an independent arts centre in Paris. It focuses on documentary photography, video, cinema and new media through exhibitions, production, book publishing, talks and debates.

Le Bal has around 350 m² of exhibition space divided across two floors; a bookshop, Le Bal Books; and café, Le Bal Café. It is located off Place de Clichy at 6 Impasse de la Défense, 18th arrondissement, 75018, Paris. It opened in September 2010. Its director is Diane Dufour (who was European Director of Magnum Photos from 2000 to 2006).

The building is a former 1930s dance hall called Chez Isis.

Le Bal co-publishes two or three books each year, including L’Anti-collection, a limited-edition artist’s book which it jointly publishes with the Centre national des arts plastiques, and Les Carnets du Bal.

Le Bal’s educational platform, La Fabrique du Regard, has run programmes since 2008 for young people aged 8–18, especially from disadvantaged areas of Paris and its suburbs, to critically look at images.

Le Bal Books is run by Sébastian Hau.

Le Bal Café is operated by Alice Quillet, Anna Trattles and Anselme Blayney. It serves a French take on traditional British cuisine.

Since 2010 Le Bal has been involved with the annual Prix des Ecoles d’Art SFR Jeunes Talents / Le Bal (The SFR / Le Bal award for young photography with ADAGP). It is a competition open to art school students and former students who graduated less than three years before entering. It carries a 5000 Euro prize intended to support the winner for two years in making or completing a documentary photography project.

Antoine D'Agata's Anticorps (2013), a catalogue published by Le Bal and Éditions Xavier Barral for his retrospective at Le Bal, won the Rencontres d'Arles Author’s Book Award in 2013. In 2015, the book Images of Conviction: The Construction of Visual Evidence (Xavier Barral and Le Bal, 2015) won the Photography Catalogue of the Year award in the Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards.

Brasserie Lipp

Brasserie Lipp

Lipp is a brasserie located at 151 Boulevard Saint-Germain in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. It sponsors an annual literary prize, the Prix Cazes, named for a previous owner.

On 27 October 1880 (1880-10-27), Léonard Lipp and his wife Pétronille opened the brasserie on the Boulevard Saint-Germain. Of Alsatian origin, Lipp left Alsace when it became part of Germany.

His speciality was a cervelat rémoulade starter, then sauerkraut, served with the finest beers. The brasserie's atmosphere and its modest prices made it a great success. Anti-German sentiment during the First World War led to a change of name to Brasserie des Bords for several years.

In July 1920, the bougnat (Paris immigrant) Marcellin Cazes redesigned the brasserie, which had become frequented by poets such as Paul Verlaine and Guillaume Apollinaire. He decorated it with tiled murales by Léon Fargues, with painted ceilings by Charly Garrey, and purple moleskin seating.

In 1935, Cazes established the Prix Cazes, a literary prize awarded each year to an author who has won no other literary prize.

In 1955, he passed the baton to his son Roger Cazes.

On 29 October 1965, Mehdi Ben Barka, a Moroccan anti-monarchy politician opposed to King Hassan II, was abducted by the Morocco Secret Service in front of the brasserie, probably with the help of the French. The Ben Barka Affair became a political scandal which fundamentally changed France-Morocco relations.
