Musée Edith Piaf Review

True fans will appreciate the tiny two-room apartment where the "little sparrow" lived for a year, when she was 28 years old and sang in the working-class cafés on Rue Oberkampf. The flat was obtained by Les Amis d'Edith Piaf in 1978 and is now a shrine to the pint-size crooner, whose life-size photo (she was 4 feet, 9 inches) greets visitors at the door. The red walls are covered with portraits of Piaf done by her many artist friends. Her books and handbags are here, as well as a few dresses and her size 4 shoes. Her personal letters are framed.
