Jean Renoir 寫他父親P. A. Renoir（1841-1919）童年住的公寓如一方手帕（"a pocket handkerchief," ），他喜歡在巴黎街道四處漫遊（"In the streets of Paris I felt at home. There were no motorcars then and you could stroll around as ..."）他很節省，都選泥土部分街道走，以免磨損掉鞋子（"I would walk on the soft earth along the side of the street in order to avoid wearing out the soles of my shoes on the hard pavement."）。那時候的街道都很小，不過屋子多有花園，遠比現在的健康（這後來給廣開所謂林蔭大道的Haussmann 等破壞者消毀： The streets were narrow and the central gutter stank a little; but behind every house there was a garden.

那時候（約1850），沙爾‧波德萊爾（Charles Baudelaire 1821-67）也在另一時空漫遊：
歐洲繪畫群集蒙田街；在『論泰奧菲爾‧戈蒂耶 』可以一口氣寫出十來位英國畫家之名；這些，除了極少數的專家之外，國人皆不知也！（沙爾‧波德萊爾（Charles Baudelaire）《1846年的沙龍：波德萊爾美學論文選》--1846年、1859年，無1863年：In 1863 Renoir submitted his "Dancing Esmeralda" to the Salon. The picture was accepted,）

「請問：此處supers什麼東西--人物？」

to look like the bourgeoisie. In consequence , the streets of Paris
