COLETTE. L.A.S., "Le Claridge Champs Elysées" [ca. 1935], to a real estate agent; 2 pages in-4 on blue paper. She is in no hurry, but is looking for an apartment "a bit special. Or a roof terrace with no overhanging neighbors, or a first floor with a small garden. I only need three rooms"; she'd like a wood-burning fireplace and could make do with two small adjoining apartments. "I don't mind the noise outside, but the sound inside makes it impossible for me to work. I lived in the Palais-Royal for four years, and I'd like an apartment in one of the modernized buildings. Rent 15 to 20,000 (maximum). Areas: Étoile, Left Bank near the Seine, Palais-Royal. A la rigueur le Champ-de-Mars près des jardins, le XVIe, mais Passy et non Auteuil, et je ne aime pas Neuilly"... [She moved back to Palais-Royal in January 1938].
