Paris and Joyce

A Pilgrimage to Joycean Paris Consulting Paul O'Hanrahan's article "'Is it possible I am worth something?' Joyce's Paris Addresses" (2003/2008)

  James Joyce and his family lived in Paris over twenty years in the early twentieth century.  Although the Joyces repeatedly moved in the city almost twenty times, they mostly lived around La Seine in the city centre near the Tour Eiffel in the Rive Gauche and the Arc de Triomphe in the Rive Droite, probably because Joyce simply loved these famous symbols of Paris, just like most Parisians and tourists.
  Unlike Joyce's Trieste addresses, no plaque is available for any of Joyce's Paris apartments and other addresses related to Joyce except the original site of Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company (12 rue de l'Odeon) at the moment.  Needless to say, Paris is one of the four most important Joycean cities as well as Dublin, Trieste and Zurich.  If you like to know the exact addresses of James Joyce's Dublin houses, Vivien Igoe's James Joyce's Dublin Houses and Nora Barnacle's Galway (Dublin: Wolfhound Press/The Lilliput Press, 1997/2007) is the one you should consult.  If you buy a tourist map of Trieste, all the Triestine things related to Joyce are shown on it.  If you go to Zurich James Joyce Foundation, you can get enough information for the Joycean pilgrimage in the city.  As for the Joycean tour around Paris, however, no handy map or book is available yet.  So this is dedicated to Joyceans around the world who want to go on a Joycean pilgrimage to Paris.
  This "Paris and Joyce" page could not be created without Paul O'Hanrahan's paper titled "'Is it possible I am worth something?'  Joyce's Paris Addresses" (2003/2008).  I hereby write my sincere gratitude for Paul O'Hanrahan for his generous offer of sending me the revised paper for his talk with slides which he originally gave in Trieste in 2003, titled "Joyce's Paris Apartments."



  *Paul O'Hanrahan is an actor/independant scholar residing in the suburb of Dublin.  Best known as "Leopold Bloom," Paul directs Balloonatics Theatre Company which has provided theatre based on Ulysses in Dublin on Bloomsday for over twenty years.  The company has won two Edinburgh Fringe Firsts for his adaptations from Joyce: in 1983, for "Circe" from Ulysses with the Cambridge University Mummers and in 1990 with Donal O'Kelly and the Dublin Theatre Festival for The Wake from Finnegans Wake.   He is also known as an enthusiastic Joycean scholar who frequently gives a paper for International James Joyce Symposium.

Grand Hotel Corneille      Grand Hotel Corneille, 5 rue Corneille where James Joyce stayed between December 1902 to April 1903.
  Paul O'Hanrahan notes:

  Situated in the heart of Paris, this hotel unfortunately no longer exists.  The rue de Corneille is a short street running alongside the Theatre de l'Odeon, linking the Place de l'Odeon with the rue de Vaugirard.  Opposite the rue de Vaugirard end of this street is the Jardin du Luxembourg.  Just around the corner from the rue Corneille, there are two hotels close to each other on the rue de Vaugirard, which are notable in that Knut Hamsun and Paul Verlaine stayed there in the mid-1890s.  At the other end of the rue Corneille is the place de l'Odeon, which included at the turn of the last century the site of the famous Cafe Voltaire, which was in its heyday in the 1890s when it was a favoured haunt of the Symbolist poets, of Mallarme and of Andre Gide.  (O'Hanrahan 1-2).

9 rue de l'Universite (hotel)      Joyce stayed at this hotel twice: 1. 8-15 July 1920; 2. 14 October 1921- August 1922.

  This is a long, narrow street running parallel to the Seine. No 9, which was a hotel in Joyce's day, is still a hotel, now the Hotel Lennox (a three-star hotel).
  The hotel at this address was Joyce's first port of call on arriving in Paris from Trieste. Initially, he stayed here for a week, from July 8th - 15th 1920.  In a letter to Harriet Weaver on 12th July he contemplates starting work on the Circe episode in the near future but also remarks that "A great part of the nostos or close was written several years ago."  He also says that he will shortly be moving to a flat in Passy. (O'Hanrahan 4)

71 rue du Cardinal Lemoine      The Joyces stayed at 71 rue du Cardinal Lemoine between June-October 1921.

  Joyce was relieved to move into this apartment, courtesy of the generosity of the owner, Valery Larbaud, the writer and critic, who had the flat re-decorated and put at Joyce's disposal for the summer months of 1921.  In a letter to Francini Bruni of 7 June 1921, Joyce commented with relish: "The flat on the Boulevard Raspail cost me a good 2000 lire a month.  But this one costs me nothing."  Joyce lived at 71 rue Cardinal Lemoine from 3 June 1921 to October 1921. (O'Hanrahan 7)

Passy      *As Paul O'Hanrahan notes, the Joyces lived at 2 avenue St Philibert, Passy between 14 October 1931 - June 1932.  However, I could not find "Avenue St Philibert" in Passy.  Such a street name is not on Paris Pratique par Arrondissement Edition 2008.  Probably the street was renamed.
  Cf. Joyce wrote to James Stephens. ALS 1931, Nov. 29.  2 Avenue S. Philibert, Passy - Joyce writes that Caresse Crosby is interested in Stephens' manuscript.  Joyce fixes a time on the following day for them to meet. [Unpublished.: Included in the "Papers of James Joyce in the Charles E.

Bibliotheque Nationale      Paul O'Hanrahan notes:

  On 17 January 1903, Joyce returned to Paris, via London. In March 1903, Joyce met the playwright Synge in Paris.  Synge gave him a copy of his play, Riders to the Sea, and Joyce proceeded to criticise it.  Joyce, however, did come to admire the play and even translated it into Italian when he was living in Trieste.  In March Joyce wrote to his mother reassuring her about his assiduous reading habits and regular church attendance: "I read every day in the Bibliotheque Nationale and in the Bibliotheque Sainte-Genevieve.  I often go to vespers at Notre Dame or at Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois.  I never go to the theatre - as I have no money." (SL 19).  By this stage he had abandoned his medical studies.  (O'Hanrahan 2-3)

Le Fouquet's      Paul O'Hanrahan notes:

  Joyce's favourite restaurant in the 1930s: Le Fouquet's, 99 avenue des Champs-Elysees:

  Joyce wrote to his son in July 1934: "We dine very often - in fact almost always - in Fouquet's."

  Joyce often visited this famous and expensive restaurant on the Champs-Elysees.  It would have been particularly convenient when he was living just around the corner at 42 rue Galilee.  Yet he still frequented the restaurant the following year, when he had moved to rue Edmond Valentin, as he describes in a letter a visit to the famous culinary establishment in the company of both the Jolases and the Leons.  On this occasion, he entertained his guests by a lengthy recitation of Yeats's poetry.  For Joyce, any occasion would serve as a pretext for a celebration - birthdays, marriages, Candlemass, dates of publication of new works. (O'Hanrahan 12-13)
