Hemingway i Paris - Small Group Walking Tour
Beskrivelse
Hemingway tilbragte sine formative år i Paris. Omgivet af andre forfattere som James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound & F. Scott Fitzgerald skiftede han fra ungejournalist til erfaren romanforfatter. Disse mænd og kvinder var kendt som "den tabte generation", hvoraf mange havde lidt under rædslerne under 1. verdenskrig. De strømmede til Paris ikke kun for kunstnerisk inspiration, men også for at finde sig selv. Denne tur tager dig til de steder, som Hemingway besøgte, hvor han boede, arbejdede og festede. Undervejs deler jeg dokumenteret forskning om hans liv og bedrifter, arkivfotos af Hemingway i Paris og uddrag af hans arbejde. Fra hans første tur til Europa som frivillig ambulancechauffør i 1. verdenskrig til hans sidste dage i Ketchum, Idaho, vil jeg dele Hemingways oplevelser i Paris, hans liv, hans kærligheder, hans arbejde. Vi vil besøge hans yndlingsbarer og måske dele en drink, mens jeg fortæller hans historie fra hans tidlige år til Paris og i sidste ende hans tragiske afslutning.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi starter turen i hjertet af venstre breds bohemekvarter. Vi opdager hans tidlige dage, før vi ankommer til Paris. Så skal vi se Hemingways 1. lejlighed - en koldtvandslejlighed uden rindende vand, fælles toiletter i gangen & en madras på gulvet. På trods af sin fattigdom elskede han Paris og åbnede sig for at opdage en ny by, et nyt liv.
Næste stop, stedet, hvor James Joyce afsluttede at skrive sin mesterværksroman Ulysses. De to mænd var gode venner, måske et "litterært ulige par" i betragtning af deres forskelligheder!
Vi besøger den oprindelige placering af den berømte boghandel, Shakespeare & Company, på rue de l'Odéon. Hemingway var en nær ven af ejeren, Sylvia Beach, og han delte mange glade minder om butikken og kvinden i sin roman om Paris, A Moveable Feast.
Hemingways sidste lejlighed i Paris lå i nærheden - huslejen blev betalt af hans 2. kones familie, og det var langt mere fornemt end hans tidligere udgravninger. Vi vil høre om hans venskab med Fitzgerald og opdage historien bag kulisserne i hans 1. roman, The Sun Also Rises. Det var en splittende bog, der kostede ham venskab med flere nære bekendte, men den slyngede ham til berømmelse.
Le Select var populær blandt alle Lost Generation-forfatterne. Vi afslutter turen her. Gæster kan også vælge at afslutte turen i en af de andre berømte 1920'er-caféer i Montparnasse (La Rotonde, Dome, Closerie de Lilas), på Harry's NY Bar nær Operaen eller på Hemingway Bar i Ritz Hotel (forudgående) varsel påkrævet for denne mulighed, fordi påklædning er obligatorisk for at komme ind i baren). Drikkevarer IKKE INKLUDERET i turens pris.

Very detailed tour. Ellen is passionate about her subject matter and is engaging and accommodating. You get it see some really cool spots.
We had a wonderful in depth and insightful Hemingway tour with Ellen. She brought him back to life along with all his friends and counterparts. We loved the tour. My best to you Ellen.
Many thanks !
Very fascinating, informative tour. The weather was hot and the guide to care to give us each a mini fan and buy metro tickets so we didn’t have to walk as far.
It was my pleasure !
A wonderful tour! Ellen is so very knowledgeable on not onlyHemingway, but also the entirety of the Lost Generation and Paris in general. Set up in presentation style, with a walking tour to accompany, you really are able to picture Hemingways life, as well as the vibrancy and pace of the quarter in the time. I’m an avid Hemingway fan and reader and was enthralled from start to finish, my wife has a passive interest but Ellen made it so interesting even she was absorbed by the story and the sites. Ellen is a wonderful guide, and her more than thirty years in Paris really shine on a walking tour. She is knowledgeable on just about everything of note, moves through Paris with ease that helps a new traveler to Paris adjust, and is friendly and pleasant to spend a day with. I recommend this tour thoroughly!
It was my pleasure !!
A very informative history of Hemingway and his Lost Generation cohorts. Nice to see the places they hung out and lived!
It was my pleasure !
First the down side. I was overcharged for this tour, which is advertised at "starting at" $118 on Trip Advisor (and $117 on Airbnb), with a "lowest price guarantee" on TA. I was billed $179. When I inquired, I was told it was because it was a single booking--as opposed to, i guess, a couple? One other single guy was on the trip, and he paid a lot less than I did (as did each of the people in the couple on our trip). Needless to say, the difference was not refunded, so i paid a LOT for this tour and felt baited and switched. That said, the guide, Ellen, was excellent. She knows a TON about Hemingway and tells it in an interesting way, brought along visuals, kept things moving while also answering questions...she was lively, smart, and interesting. I've read a lot of Hemingway, including A Moveable Feast (which is about his life in exactly the spots on this tour), but she still had tons of information to share. Ultimately I was so pleased by the tour that i forgot how much I overpaid. So I give 5 enthusiastic stars. Just make sure you know what you're paying up front!
Thank you for sharing, and I apologize for the misunderstanding over the cost. But I am glad you enjoyed the tour !
I had an amazing time! Ellen is an expert on Hemingway. Her storytelling is rich, detailed and inspiring. Her tour is well organized. I especially enjoyed the iPad photo video portions. It gave the tour another dimension. I would have liked to hear more about Ellen connection to Hemingway and what made her do this tour. Thank you again!
Thank you for your kind words. To answer your question - what made me do it ?? I find Hemingway a fascinating man - an incredibly talented author who could be very charming when he chose, and yet he was frequently unpleasant to those close to him. It was this dichotomy of the individual that I wanted to explore; and I hope I was able to convey some of my passion for the man & his work.
I was the only person signed up for two tours. Ellen, guide, condensed the tour into a 4 hour tour. I didn't expect to watch a video in a cafe and then 2 more videos. However, in light that it rained the entire afternoon it worked out well. Ellen knows her stuff. I wish she could have given me an overview of how the tour would proceed for the duration of the literary journey. She did a great job explaining the writers and the era that they lived in. She did an incredible job creating her videos on the subject matter. I was impressed at her skill set. I would take the tour again, hopefully on a sunny day. Merci, Ellen.
Ellen is knowledgeable, organized, prepared, and thoughtful. The tour is well-designed and includes a couple of short public bus trips in order to see different neighborhoods where Hemingway lived, wrote and loved. Ellen provides a terrific summary of Hemingway's life in Paris as part of the Lost Generation of the 20's.
It was my pleasure to be your host !
Highly recommend this tour! Ellen was very knowledgeable, interesting and accommodating. Thank you Ellen for the wonderful experience!
I am so pleased you came ! Thank you for joining & for the kind review ! See you on your next trip to Paris, I hope.
