Hemingway en París: recorrido a pie en grupos pequeños
Descripción
Hemingway pasó sus años de formación en París. Rodeado de otros autores como James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound y F. Scott Fitzgerald, hizo la transición de periodista novato a novelista experimentado. Estos hombres y mujeres eran conocidos como la "Generación Perdida", muchos de los cuales habían sufrido los horrores de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Acudieron en masa a París no solo en busca de inspiración artística sino también para encontrarse a sí mismos. Este recorrido lo llevará a los lugares que frecuentaba Hemingway, donde vivió, trabajó y festejaba. En el camino, comparto investigaciones documentadas sobre su vida y hazañas, fotos de archivo de Hemingway en París y extractos de su trabajo. Desde su primer viaje a Europa como conductor de ambulancia voluntario en la Primera Guerra Mundial, hasta sus últimos días en Ketchum, Idaho, compartiré las experiencias de Hemingway en París, su vida, sus amores, su trabajo. Visitaremos sus bares favoritos y tal vez compartiremos una copa mientras cuento su historia desde sus primeros años en París y, en última instancia, su trágico final.

Itinerario
Comenzamos el recorrido en el corazón del barrio bohemio de la Margen Izquierda. Descubrimos sus inicios antes de llegar a París. Luego veremos el primer piso de Hemingway: un piso de agua fría sin agua corriente, baños compartidos en el pasillo y un colchón en el suelo. A pesar de su pobreza, amaba París y se abrió a descubrir una nueva ciudad, una nueva vida.
Próxima parada, el lugar donde James Joyce terminó de escribir su novela maestra Ulises. ¡Los dos hombres eran buenos amigos, tal vez una "extraña pareja literaria" dadas sus diferencias!
Visitaremos la ubicación original de la famosa librería Shakespeare & Company, en la rue de l'Odéon. Hemingway era un amigo cercano de la propietaria, Sylvia Beach, y compartió muchos recuerdos felices de la tienda y la mujer en su novela sobre París, A Moveable Feast.
El último departamento de Hemingway en París estaba ubicado cerca: el alquiler lo pagaba la familia de su segunda esposa y era mucho más elegante que sus excavaciones anteriores. Escucharemos sobre su amistad con Fitzgerald y descubriremos la historia detrás de escena de su primera novela, The Sun Also Rises. Fue un libro divisivo, que le costó la amistad de varios conocidos cercanos, pero lo catapultó a la fama.
Le Select fue popular entre todos los escritores de Lost Generation. Terminamos aquí el recorrido. Los huéspedes también pueden optar por finalizar el recorrido en uno de los otros famosos cafés de la década de 1920 de Montparnasse (La Rotonde, el Dome, el Closerie de Lilas), en el Harry's NY Bar cerca de la Ópera, o en el Hemingway Bar en el Hotel Ritz (adelanto aviso requerido para esta opción porque la vestimenta formal es obligatoria para ingresar al bar). Bebidas NO INCLUIDAS en el precio del tour.

Very detailed tour. Ellen is passionate about her subject matter and is engaging and accommodating. You get it see some really cool spots.
Thank you for your kind words. It was my pleasure !
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.
