Some of America’s greatest authors – Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, James Baldwin and F. Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald – all called Paris their home away from home in the early 20th century. You’ll visit these authors’ favorite writing haunts, plus the salons, cafés and bookshops that make up this city’s artistic communities today. Journal in hand, students will become the subjects as they document how Paris impacts them as an individual.


Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
