In evidenza

There is a famous saying : “Everyone has 2 countries, their own & France”. This was especially true for numerous artists, writers & jazz musicians between the 2 world wars, many of whom flocked to Paris not only for artistic inspiration but also to find themselves. Known as the Lost Generation, these were men & women who had suffered through WW1, a war that had taken 20m lives. They were all between 20 and 30 years old & questioned the old regime as morally bankrupt – seeking to build a new system. Eager to share ideas they would gather in the numerous cafés of the Left Bank. Many of these struggling artists & writers stayed in the area’s cheap hotels or cold-water flats. We will visit the places they lived, worked & partied, bearing in mind that the bohemian Left Bank of starving artists & struggling writers has given way to chic boutiques & high end bistros. Drinks not included in the price. School groups are welcome on this tour - contact us for rates.

About Parigi

Parigi unisce grandi boulevard e monumenti sul fiume a terrazze di caffè, collezioni d'arte di fama mondiale e quartieri che sembrano villaggi.

La Senna attraversa il cuore della città, costeggiando l'Île de la Cité con Notre-Dame e la Sainte-Chapelle, la lunga facciata del Louvre e il Musée d'Orsay nella sua ex stazione ferroviaria. Più a valle, la Torre Eiffel si innalza sul Champ de Mars e l'Arco di Trionfo corona gli Champs-Élysées.

Top-ranked sights in Parigi: Louvre Museum, Eiffel Tower, 4th Arrondissement.
