27 rue de Fleurus, Literary salon building in Montparnasse, Paris, France

The residence at 27 rue de Fleurus features a ground floor entrance leading to an apartment that housed numerous art collections and literary gatherings.

From 1903 to 1938, writer Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas lived in this building, making it central to the Paris art movement of the early 1900s.

The apartment walls displayed works by Matisse, Picasso, and Cézanne while writers like Hemingway and Fitzgerald participated in regular Saturday evening discussions.
