Paris When It Sizzled: Les Années Folles (The Crazy Years)
Tour Duration: 4 Hours (every Monday)
Price: $175
Location: Left Bank-St. Germain and MontparnasseParis has enjoyed many golden ages, but none so gorgeous as the 1920s. As Europe lit up again after the Great War,

the City of Light drew people like a magnet. In particular, scores of writers fled

stiflingly conservative Anglo-Saxon cultures in search of the intellectual, artistic and sexual freedom only the French capital could offer. Ernest Hemingway, Scott and

Zelda Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Henry Miller, Djuna Barnes,

Janet Flanner, William Carlos Williams, James Joyce, Natalie Clifford Barney

and their friends turned a few square miles on the Left Bank of the Seine into

one of the richest art colonies of the 20th century.About Your Guide
Author John Baxter has lived in the heart of literary Paris for fifteen years,

and knows intimately every winding street, corner cafe and hidden courtyard.

His knowledge of les années folles - the Crazy Years - becomes yours

as he guides you around the haunts of these literary giants, recounting

their stories with the same vivid style that illuminates his biographies

of Woody Allen, Luis Bunuel and Stanley Ku brick, and his best-selling

memoir A Pound of Paper: Confessions of a Book Addict. If you never

shared an aperitif at La Coupole with Hemingway, borrowed a book from

Sylvia Beach at Shakespeare and Company or strolled through the Luxembourg Gardens with William Faulkner, this is the next best thing.Email Here
