   Odile mentions dancing at 'Mimi Pinson'. 'Mimi Pinson' was a fictional character in Alfred de Musset's book 'Mademoiselle Mimi Pinson: Profil de grisette'. It is likely that the name was given to a dance hall/café. There are connections to Odile's character because Mimi Pinson is a grisette, a term used to describe adventurous, independent young women who live only for the moment.
