Hemingway i Paris - Small Group Walking Tour
Beskrivning
Hemingway tillbringade sina uppväxtår i Paris. Omgiven av andra författare som James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound & F. Scott Fitzgerald, övergick han från unga journalist till rutinerad romanförfattare. Dessa män och kvinnor var kända som "den förlorade generationen", av vilka många hade lidit under första världskrigets fasor. De strömmade till Paris inte bara för konstnärlig inspiration utan också för att hitta sig själva. Denna turné tar dig till platserna som Hemingway besökte, där han bodde, arbetade och festade. Längs vägen delar jag med mig av dokumenterad forskning om hans liv och bedrifter, arkivfoton av Hemingway i Paris och utdrag av hans arbete. Från hans första resa till Europa som frivillig ambulansförare under första världskriget, till hans sista dagar i Ketchum, Idaho, kommer jag att dela Hemingways upplevelser i Paris, hans liv, hans kärlekar, hans arbete. Vi kommer att besöka hans favoritbarer och kanske dela en drink medan jag berättar hans berättelse från hans tidiga år till Paris, och i slutändan hans tragiska slut.
Turalternativ
Resplan
Vi börjar turen i hjärtat av Vänsterbankens bohemiska kvarter. Vi upptäcker hans tidiga dagar innan vi anländer till Paris. Sedan ska vi se Hemingways första lägenhet - en kallvattenlägenhet utan rinnande vatten, delade toaletter i korridoren & en madrass på golvet. Trots sin fattigdom älskade han Paris och öppnade sig för att upptäcka en ny stad, ett nytt liv.
Nästa stopp, platsen där James Joyce skrev färdigt sin mästerverksroman Ulysses. De två männen var goda vänner, kanske ett "litterärt udda par" med tanke på deras olikheter!
Vi kommer att besöka den ursprungliga platsen för den berömda bokhandeln, Shakespeare & Company, på rue de l'Odéon. Hemingway var en nära vän till ägaren, Sylvia Beach, och han delade många glada minnen av butiken och kvinnan i sin roman om Paris, A Moveable Feast.
Hemingways sista lägenhet i Paris låg i närheten - hyran betalades av hans andra frus familj och den var mycket mer elegant än hans tidigare utgrävningar. Vi kommer att höra om hans vänskap med Fitzgerald och upptäcka berättelsen bakom kulisserna i hans första roman, The Sun Also Rises. Det var en splittrande bok som kostade honom vänskapen med flera nära bekanta, men den slungade honom till berömmelse.
Le Select var populär bland alla Lost Generation-författare. Vi avslutar turen här. Gästerna kan också välja att avsluta turnén i ett av de andra berömda 1920-talskaféerna i Montparnasse (La Rotonde, Dome, Closerie de Lilas), på Harry's NY Bar nära Operan, eller på Hemingway Bar i Ritz Hotel (förskott meddelande krävs för detta alternativ eftersom klädsel är obligatoriskt för att komma in i baren). Drycker INGÅR INTE i turnéns 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.
