Overview

Step into 1920s Paris and follow in the footsteps of Ernest Hemingway and the Lost Generation on this immersive walking tour through the city’s most inspiring literary landmarks.

On this self guided tour you will walk the same streets where Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein once lived, wrote, and dreamed.

What makes this tour truly special is its storytelling approach. Each stop reveals a deeper layer of Paris—from hidden alleys filled with legend to iconic cafés where revolutionary ideas were born.

Along the way, you’ll explore landmarks like Notre-Dame, Shakespeare and Company, and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, while uncovering lesser-known corners that capture the spirit of the Lost Generation.

Perfect for literature lovers, history enthusiasts, and curious travellers alike, this tour transforms Paris into a living storey—one you can walk through, feel, and remember long after you leave.
