Destacados

This is a unique tour that follows the footsteps of the Beat Generation poets through Paris. The tour also provides the context in which they evolved, how they came to be, what defined them as "Beats". And we will discuss their groundbreaking work, their growth as writers and their influence on those who came after - the hippies, the punks & the post-modern works of today.

Itinerario

  1. We start the tour at the Beat Hotel then visit the surrounding area, with the preferred cafés & bars of the Beats

    20 min

  2. We visit the famous Shakespeare & Company bookstore, where Ginsberg & Corso gave a reading of Beat poetry in 1957. Since then it has become a Paris landmark for book lovers. We will visit other locales in the area.

    15 min

  3. Jazz was an essential element in the conception of Beat poetry and we will see two of the jazz clubs they frequented while living in Paris.

    10 min

  4. We will visit one of William Burrough's favorite cafes

    5 min

  5. We visit the English language bookstore that featured the more controversial publications written by William Burroughs, and a dive hotel where Gregory Corso stayed when he couldn't afford the Beat Hotel.

    15 min

  6. We end the tour either in the Café Bonaparte, one of Gregory Corso's hangouts. The Beats preferred the more relaxed atmosphere of this cafe in comparison to the more famous ones on the Boulevard St Germain.

El Sena atraviesa el corazón de la ciudad, junto a la Île de la Cité con Notre-Dame y la Sainte-Chapelle, la larga fachada del Louvre y el Museo de Orsay en su antigua estación de tren. Río abajo, la Torre Eiffel se alza sobre el Campo de Marte y el Arco del Triunfo corona los Campos Elíseos.
