Site of Hemingway's infamous boxing match
From the square of Les Enfant, we walked up rue des Filles du Calvaire, passing from the 3rd into the 11th arrondissement to the Place Pasdeloup where stands the famous Cirque d’Hiver Bouglione
(Filles du Calvaire Metro station), Nikki’s circus.
Just a bit of literary history for you: back in the ‘20s, Hemingway had a famous boxing match here using F. Scott Fitzgerald to time the match.
Because Scott was engrossed in the match, supposedly he let it run a few minutes too long which caused Hem to lose (or so he says).
