Description

Immerse yourself in the enchanting streets of Paris, where every corner holds a tale, and every cobblestone whispers secrets of the past. On this unique walking tour, you will embark on a journey through time, led by none other than Ernest Hemingway himself, the literary giant who once roamed these very streets, played by an actor guide. In the Paris of the Roaring Twenties, Hemingway discovered a community of fellow expatriates, united by a shared hunger for truth and beauty in a world plagued by uncertainty. Paris offered a canvas upon which they could reimagine themselves. Here, amidst the swirling smoke of jazz clubs and the heady aroma of espresso, they found inspiration, and were drawn to the city's magnetic allure like moths to a flame.Hemingway will tell you of his contemporaries and friends. F. Scott Fitzgerald, the embodiment of the Jazz Age, whose pen painted vivid portraits of excess and disillusionment. Gertrude Stein, the indomitable patron of the arts, whose salon became a sanctuary for aspiring writers and avant-garde thinkers. And Ezra Pound, the enigmatic poet and mentor, whose guidance shaped the literary landscape of the 20th century.Hemingway would sit for hours at the iconic cafés and bars of Montparnasse and the Latin Quarter, penning his thoughts. Whether tucked away in a corner at La Closerie des Lilas, or soaking up the ambience at Les Deux Magots or Le Dôme, Hemingway's keen eye and sharp wit transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary.  You'll meander through narrow alleys, where Hemingway's footsteps echo alongside the ghosts of his contemporaries, and stroll through the Luxembourg Gardens that he loved so much. We’ll also stop at the  legendary bouquinistes, where he would often linger, searching for hidden treasures among the stacks of old manuscripts. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore Hemingway's Paris, and immerse yourself in the captivating literary and artistic realm of inter-war Paris that influenced a generation of creatives and left an enduring mark on our cultural heritage.
