The Two Magots

Les Deux Magots is a restaurant in Paris. The word "magot" is not the same as "maggot". Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir used to come here and write at one of the tables. News about them being there soon spread, and they had to find a new place where they would not be bothered. One of the reasons they came was that there were fuel shortages after the war, and some of the cafes provided a place where people could be warm.
