Pre-Tour Announcement for

A WRITER’S ADVENTURE TO PARIS

An 8-day tour exploring the lives & artistic achievements of
the women & men who flocked to Paris during the 1920s & ’30s

October 27-November 3, 2018
WITH MARJORIE ST. CLAIR

No period of time continues to capture the imagination as the belle époque of Paris in the early 20th century. In 2011, for example, there were major exhibitions in San Francisco, featuring the art of Picasso, the art collection of the Stein family who were instrumental in purchasing and nurturing the avant-garde artists in Paris pre-WWI, and an exhibition of Gertrude Stein, her writing and memorabilia.

If you’ve been captivated by the magic of this historical time in Paris, please consider joining me for A Writer’s Adventure to Paris October 27-November 3, 2018. Our tour will include: visits to literary cafes frequented by the artists and writers of that period; a visit to the famous Shakespeare & Co Bookstore with time to peruse this unique treasure & learn more of its history; visits to the world-famous Louvre & Musee de l’Orangerie- home to Monet’s magnificent Water Lilies paintings; a visit to the outdoor book stalls along the Seine; a sightseeing tour of the city, taking in such sites as the Champs Elysees, Arc de Triumphe, Eiffel Tower, the Sorbonne, Pantheon, Sacre-Coeur Basilica, the Paris Opera House and a visit to the famed Notre Dame Cathedral, an evening at the Theatre des Nouveautes and a special farewell dinner cruise on the Seine. There will also be time on your own to reflect and write about your experiences. Throughout our journey, we will pause to discuss the life and times of the artists and writers who made the 1920s Paris the century’s greatest decade and seek to understand why Gertrude Stein dubbed the ex-pat writers “the Lost Generation.”
