Overview
Hemingway may have only lived in Paris between 1921 and 1928, but his years in the City of Light have come to represent the quintessential artist’s experience.
On this self-guided audio tour through the Latin Quarter, you‘ll come to understand why Hemingway‘s seemingly perfect Parisian story serves as both inspiration and a cautionary tale for artists in search of fame and wealth.
You‘ll hear about the transformative moments in Hemingway‘s life, including the mysterious trunk of lost manuscripts and how his experience on the Italian Front during World War I impacted him. You‘ll pass by the Church of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont, the steps featured in the film Midnight in Paris, and the Panthéon on your way to the Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore, where you‘ll hear about Hemingway‘s upbringing.
By the end tour, you‘ll have seen 1920s Paris through the extraordinary lens of Hemingway and unraveled some of the myths around the iconic writer‘s time in the City of Light.
