Opened in 1898, the Café du Dôme became a popular meeting place for the Parisian bohemians of the turn of the 1900s. Regulars included painters, sculptors, writers, poets, art lovers and art dealers who lived in the Montparnasse district west of the Seine . The place was frequented by the Americans, English and Russians living in Paris.
The unprofitable guests could afford a sausage and a plate of French fries, the wealthy guests could enjoy oysters.
