Literary Tour of Hemingway's Paris - Follow his footsteps

Hemingway was a man larger than life, and this tour will tell the tale of the amazing life he led. I will take you to the places that Hemingway frequented. Along the way I share documented research on his life & exploits, rare archival photos of Hemingway, and excerpts of his work. From his first trip to Europe with the Red Cross in WW1, to his journey embedded with the American troops liberating France in WW2, I will share Hemingway's experiences in Paris, his life, his loves, his work. Hemingway spent his formative years in Paris. Surrounded by fellow authors such as James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound & F. Scott Fitzgerald, he transitioned from struggling journalist to seasoned novelist. These men & women, known as the "Lost Generation", flocked to Paris for artistic inspiration. We end the tour over a drink in the bars he frequented, where he wrote, drank & met friends. If you are a Hemingway fan, or just want to know more, then this is the tour for you!
