“Writers' Parisian Hideaway”
“When Kathleen Beauchamp (better known as the famous English writer Katherine MANSFIELD) arrived in Paris on 30 January 1922 for radiation treatments, she took a room in the Victoria Palace at the suggestion of her friend Anne Estelle Rice, the American painter. The hotel was rather costly and Mansfield, having separated from her husband, John Middleton Murry, was nearly broke, but she managed. At least her quarters here were considerably better than the barn near Fontainebleau in which she died almost exactly a year later. “During 1923-24 James JOYCE, the well known Irish writer, and his family took rooms in this hotel. Harriet Weaver had turned a large inheritance over to Joyce, which enabled him to afford nearly a year's worth of the Victoria Palace's luxury. And Joyce was not one to scrimp.” (Excerpt from "Expatriate Paris" by Arlen J. Hansen
