Includes 6 special days of mindfully curated workshops, transportation to and from events outside of Paris, all tickets for scheduled events and workshop experiences, guided walks in the footsteps of Monet, Rodin and, of course, Hemingway, a copy of “A Moveable Feast,” a signature tote and journal, English & French-speaking guides, and carefully curated introspective prompts.

—Ernest Hemingway

GIVERNY MONET’S GARDEN
Journey to Giverny. Take time to enjoy reflecting in the pond and enjoy reading selected chapters in Hemingway’s, “A Moveable Feast,” during the excursion. Visit Claude Monet’s house, garden, and the nearby town.
PARIS L’ORANGERIE
Springtime was made for a stroll in the Tuileries Gardens. Enjoy an especially intimate program starting at a significant spot not far from the Louvre. Explore the Musée de l’Orangerie and immerse yourself in a world of Monet’s creations. Take inspiration from his artwork in a space he helped design. Settle into a sense of the inspiration Monet discovered at Giverny. Write like Hemingway as you journal to the music of the morning with plenty of free-time to follow.
PARIS LUXEMBOURG GARDENS
Trace the footsteps of Hemingway from his apartment and across town on a lovely walk to some of his most celebrated spaces. Your guides will share the secrets of the city and you’ll see some of the magical places so well-known to Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Stein. Unwind at Hemingway’s favorite café and fold into the freedom to be at the Luxembourg Gardens.
PARIS RODIN MUSEUM
Get excited for one of our favorite occasions to go inward. Meet to uncover the connections between art and living in Paris. Talk Hemingway at the garden café. Discover the work of Rodin through your words and a self-guided experience full of special surprises we’ve prepared as you make “your” way toward an understanding of the meaning of the journey. It’s all within grasp.
PARIS Île Saint-Louis
Peel back the layers of the island and your experience in Paris. Play into the poetry of the place with a scavenger hunt of sorts that leads to a sense of your inner voice. Save some inspiration for the soulful sounds of Paris as we celebrate with an evening of jazz!
