"Their subtext is so canon," vol. 38904

In the litany of classical lovers that Hugo compares Enjolras and Grantaire to, there's one that is conspicuously absent, especially given the "Apollo" reference later in the book. However. In "Enjolras and his Lieutenants" it's mentioned that Grantaire lives very close to the Café Musain--close enough to get there and back from the back room in less than five minutes. Even in the Latin Quarter there aren't too many streets that close; from what I know of where Musain was and what the Latin Quarter looked like at the time, R probably lived on either the Rue Saint-Michel, the Rue des Gres, the Rue d'Enfer, or... the Rue Saint-Hyacinthe.

iLOL.

Possibly coincidence, but given Ol' Vic's obsession with the geography of Paris (and encyclopedic knowledge thereof) and his habit of inserting Easter eggs into his books, especially ones related to Paris geography... I'm inclined to think it was deliberate.
